Canadian DVDs not available in the US? (relocated)

I'd like to gather a list of DVDs released in Canada but not the U.S., and/or Canadian DVDs with more special features than their US counterparts.

So far I only have:

-Swimming To Cambodia (CANADA: Seville DVD readily available)
-Existenz (CANADA: Alliance Atlantis DVD loaded with bonus features; USA: Miramax DVD bare-bones)

Aside from Existenz, any other Cronenberg films with superior Canadian DVDs? In the US, bare bones are: The Brood, Scanners, Crash, and only a couple of short featurettes for Eastern Promises.

NOTE: I accidentally started this thread in "DVD Bargains", which I requested be deleted. Here are the responses so far:

Clone High - The First Complete Season



Which is actually the whole series of this great, but short lived animated series that aired on MTV in the US in 2002, and Teletoon in Canada. It includes five episodes that never aired in the States, either.

Good Will Hunting (1 additional deleted scene, and it's anamorphic, unlike Miramax's US release).

Che. Part 1 is available tomorrow, Part 2 in early August. No Blu-ray (as far as I know).

However, Criterion will be releasing Che eventually.
