As a film buff, I would not live anywhere else. We have such a wide variety of opportunities to see/experience film culture here that I don't think enough people appreciate. Venues like the Bloor (now reopened as a documentary-only theatre, one of the only ones of its kind in the world), the Toronto Underground Cinema for cult stuff, and Bell Lightbox for independent and more curated material we are extremely spoiled in this regard. The Film Festival, most people don't know, is one of the only festivals of its type on the planet that's open to the public. Think you can just walk into a screening at Cannes or Sundance? They're usually restricted to industry types only, so being able to see world premiere films months before the rest of the world, often with the cast and director present, is extremely unique. Even NYC doesn't have anything like this - I mean, there's Tribeca, but it's much much smaller and there's far fewer premieres there.
I mean, this is only one aspect but there are so many reasons to love this city. The people that complain about it, in my experience, are the ones that don't take advantage of or don't know about the incredible breadth of cultural happenings that occur in Toronto on a fairly regular basis.
