In an attempt to establish the keepability or lack thereof of this list, I made the fatal mistake of actually clicking on some of the film links. Nearly every bluelink was to an incorrect topic; most were to films made in India several years after the year claimed here, while a few were to disambiguation pages that didn't list appropriate films, one was to an actress and one was to Canadians (which I'm sure I don't need to point out isn't an article about a film made in any country.) 1999 (film) and Sivappu Malai actually linked to the correct places, although the latter one doesn't describe any actual Canadian involvement in the film beyond the fact that one of its stars happens to have previously lived here (which isn't enough to make a film "Tamil Canadian" in and of itself.) A few films also inappropriately linked offsite to dead webpages, or in one case to a YouTube clip. The one cited "reference" is a dead link, as are both of the "external links" (which were just spamlinks for production companies even before they died.) So what we have here is, indeed, an unsourced and almost completely unverifiable list as things currently stand; even most of the purported directors don't have articles to link to. No prejudice against recreation if a good version that actually cites real reliable sources to verify the existence of the claimed films can be created, but this version, as currently written, is a big fat unsalvageable piece of junk, for which I couldn't even begin to sort out what's a legitimate entry that could qualify for an article and what's bull dung.
