What is your favorite french film?

The question is simple : what is your favorite french film?

City of Lost Children

Either Amelie or The Closet with Daniel Auteuil.

I think I saw one in French class in high school. The teacher made us watch it without english subtitles so I had no idea what was going on.

Les Visiteurs

Rules of the Game or Grand Illusion.

A Prophet

Amelie

Amelie

Irréversible

Taken

District B13 was pretty cool too

The best part is, for many of them, even with subtitles, you may still not understand what's happening. I like that, at least for Godard, story was there... but that's not what makes me like them... it's more how they are presented and poetic they are.

Anyway, My favorite is probably Made in USA. It was Alphaville for awhile, but upon second viewing, I didn't like it as much. Though a third viewing may be in order. The opposite happened with Week End, though... which I didn't care for the first time, but absolutely loved the second time.

Pierrot le fou is great as well. And just watched Mood Indigo the other day, which was fun in good Gondry fashion.

Pierrot le Fou probably. It's the only one that comes to mind.

Too many to think of an individual favorite...but I'll go with The Mother and the Whore for the moment as it's definitely one of my favorites and it's been bouncing around my head this past week as well as La Belle Noiseuse and Caché.

LA HAINE

Not sure if I have any "favorite" but Yamakasi maybe?

Just because it's a movie about parkour.

no French film addict

Amelie :)

Amelie

The intouchables no contest there. If you haven't already watched this movie yet, do yourself a favor and watch it now, right now. A friend recommended it and I owe her big time for that. The movie just did it for me. The plot progresses smoothly without making you feel bored for a second. You enjoy the movie just as thoroughly from start to end. It was an orgiastic feast of the senses in how it combined humor, melancholy, romance and cultural differences in a really authentic and harmonic way. The actors, specially Omar Sy, did an exceptional job with their roles. They and their performances are all captivating, vibrant, authentic and talented.

Love me if you dare comes second, but truth be said, I still haven't watched many French movies but I'm getting there.

Amelie.

• Amelie (it's just so friggin' cute!)
• C'est arrivé pres de chez vous (although it's from belgium I believe)
• A l'interieur
• La Haine
• Dobermann
• Irréversible

You like Amélie Poulain, some have good references but no one has mentioned Louis de Funès. I thought this actor was famous in your country.

I want to watch Amelie. Heard nothing but good things about it.

Jean de Florette

The Professional

Forgot Le Samourai, though I do think it wouldve been better if it had kept with the Zen aspects a bit more. Still very classy
