    		I'm not finding anything on the "top five" reference, however, the following link will get you to a 'List of Canadian film pioneers in Hollywood' that contains several viable contenders:

    Al and Charles Christie
    Joe De Grasse
    Allan Dwan
    Del Lord
    Wilfred Lucas
    Henry MacRae
    Sidney Olcott
    Mack Sennett
