There have been
lots of movies set in Toronto, it's just that the vast majority of them are Canadian productions with limited audiences outside of Canada.
David Cronenberg is probably Toronto's best known filmmaker outside of Canada (who didn't leave for Hollywood like Ivan Reitman and others) and he set many of his movies in Toronto.
Videodrome was already mentioned, but his biggest box office success was
The Fly, (it was backed by a Hollywood studio) and it was indeed set in Toronto.
