Anyone heard of Jacques Tati? He made some classic films. "Monsieur Hulot's Holiday" , "Mon Oncle", "Jour de Fete" and they were very funny.

Anyone seen La Balance? A french film made by American Bob Swaim in the 80's. Hard hitting, bit like The French Connectio. Awsome. Also Switchblade Romance, really top horror.

Don't know if Leon counts - it was directed by Luc (?) Besson who directed Nikita, so under that criteria, it makes the list.

[coffeeman]

la balance was very good yes i forgot that..

un chein andalou ..mmm but why drag a piano huh lol?

i remember Tati too..

Does anyone remember Beatrice Dalle too ?

[F1fan]

Les Amants du Pont Neuf is great,and I love Nikita.

[henke]

Jean de Florette because it has the Stella Artois music in it

[ll_billym]

Delicatessen, not because it's particularly great (it's okay though) but for the tune that is played throughout. I watched it about 5 years ago and still find myself whistling it.

My favourite film of all time (I've seen it more than 30 times) is Les Enfants du Paradis, Marcel Carn�'s story of a group of actors in the mid-19th century: simply marvellous. I like several Carn� films, Le jour se leve and Le quai des brumes. There are so many great French films: Renoir's La regle du jeu, Bresson's Un condamn� � mort s'est �chapp�, Godard's amazing debut, Le bout de souffle, Rappeneau's Cyrano de Bergerac, Tati's comedies, Chabrol's thrillers....just so many.

Oh, Henke, I'm sure Verdi would just *love* the fact that his operas are now regarded as 'Stella Artois music' :-)

Toto the Hero is great. Also 3 colours : red (trilogy red white and blue)

[stoo_pid]

Depending on my mood, either Cyrano de Bergerac or Delicatessen

[hollie_bee]

Leon - if it is french but its still a cracker!!! has anyone seen pink panther!!!! best film this year and Leon (the actor who plays him) is in it and he is brilliant in it!!!!!!!!!
