Best 1940 movies to watch in Canada

9 top rated 1940 movies are available in Canada right now. The year is the release year (1940), not the year it reached streaming — the OTT date is on each title page. Only titles rated 7.0 or higher with at least 100 votes make this page, so a single enthusiastic rating cannot push a film to the top.

Frequently asked questions

Which 1940 movies are streaming in Canada?

9 titles released in 1940 are available in Canada right now. The platform and audio languages are on each title page.

Does 1940 mean the release year or the OTT year?

The release year. A 1940 film may have reached streaming later — the exact OTT date is on the title page.

How is "top rated" decided here?

A title needs a rating of 7.0 or higher out of 10, from at least 100 votes, to appear on this page. The rating comes from TMDB's audience score, plus OTTpath visitors' own star ratings where enough people have rated a title. We do not use IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes scores — those are licensed and not ours to republish.

Why does a film I like not appear?

Either it is rated below 7.0, or not enough people have rated it yet. The vote floor is there on purpose: without it a single 10/10 rating would put an unknown title above everything else.

Are these the best movies in Canada or everywhere?

These are the highest rated movies that are actually available in Canada right now. A better-rated film that nobody can stream here is left out, because this page is about what you can watch today.
