What are your top 5 French Films of all time....:thinking:

[Carlitos]

I do not remember the title now, but it is a French film in black and white, starring a very sexy French actress, blonde, since I saw the movie always drain the hose poured gasoline into my car, it's intrigue, the couple lovers plan to fake the death of the man and he rises from a bathtub with white eyes, I was a kid when I saw tv but hit me, if anyone knows the title ... He became a U.S. version of that movie, many years later, that to be a version was great too.

I haven't seen THAT many French movies so far, but here are my top five (in that order):

1. La Huitième Jour
2. Bienvenue Chez Les Ch'tis
3. Baise-Moi!
4. Dernier étage gauche gauche (just seen it at the "Berlinale 2011")
5. Taxi

"La Haine" wasn't that bad, too. But it doesn't make it into my top five.

I recently saw La Moustache. I would recommend it.

To be honest I love old french movies - they are so picturesque and beautiful.

L'Homme du large (directed by Marcel L'Herbier)

La Passante du Sans Souci (directed by Jacques Rouffi and staring immaculate Romy Schneider!)

[MX250]

La Haine, Dans paris, L'auberge espagnole (it counts as French, right?), Amélie, Les Choristes

[Riccardo]

Yesterday I went to the cinema to see "Rien a declarer". Really nice comedy!

[razor]

You're probably thinking of "Les diaboliques", one of Clouzot's masterpieces? I would add a few others of his to my all time list: "Le Salaire de la peur", "Quai des Orfevres", and "Le Corbeau". And I have to have a Brigitte film in there somewhere. Perhaps "Le mepris" or the excellent and rather neglected "La lumiere d'en face". (I see I need a list of 100 favourites... (:=))

[Franco]

Those of Louis de Funes. They are rather enjoyable.

[Cimmerianbloke]

Lots of the dialogues are lost in translation, but "Les Visiteurs" is one of the best comedies ever made in France.
Other top French movies I like:
Le Grand Bleu
Léon ( all three with Jean Reno, I realise)
Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources
Amélie

One special mention for "La Traversée de Paris", a one of a kind war movie...

Surprising good film!

Baise moi I luV IT

It's a Belgian film, not a French one.

I agree that these are all very good films, surely among my favourites too. I also liked Le dîner de cons.

[dony]

L'Âge d'or (1930)
Les Enfants du paradis (1945)
L'Atalante (1934)
La Haine (1995)
Lila dit ça (2005)

[-RIFFIAN-]

I can say that the French film that more I liked is 'indigènes',I like movies based on true events of all kinds :smile:

[jamt]

J'aime les filmes des Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Amelie, Delicatessen, Un long dimanche de fiançailles, Les Micmacs, La cité des enfants perdus.

Other than those, more recently I watched and enjoyed La Vénus à la fourrure, and La Vie d'Adèle (Blue is the warmest colour)

I'll definitely check out the others in this thread.
