For 10 days Toronto will be the center of the film industry, for some very good, and most likely, some very bad film screenings. Have you ever attended TIFF?

Joker -- Set outside DC's Expanded Universe slate of films, this origin tale re-imagines how Batman's most famous nemesis came to be.

One of the strangest movies to be screened this year is Jojo Rabbit. The film is about a young German boy who finds a Jewish girl in his home and seeks advice from his imaginary friend on how to handle the situation. The catch is that the imaginary friend is not a cute animal or character…but Adolf Hitler. Billed as an "anti-hate satire," this film may not be for everyone, but TIFF often highlights films that stir up controversy. Would you see this movie?
