There are MANY French movies I like, but if I had to pick just one, I'd probably choose Ridicule.
other faves:
The 400 Blows
Caché
La Reine Margot
L'auberge Espagnole
Amelie
Tell No One
I still haven't seen Bienvenue chez les Ch`tis, but I think much of the humor would go over my head anyway. |

"La Vie Promise" (Ghost River) with Isabelle Huppert and Pascal Gregory.
A prostitute (with her teen daughter) flees Nice and decides to seek her husband of many years ago. Interesting story, great performance and exceptional photography.

I saw "Priceless" and really enjoyed it as well. However, my all-time fav is "La Femme Nikita."

"Cyrano de Bergerac", the most beautiful text ever written in the French language and the film of it was simply superb though it lost a lot in translation.
I also love "the Heartbeat Detector", " A very long Engagement", " He loves me, he loves me not", and "Joyeux Noel" of the more recent ones.

I really liked Vagabond with Sandrine Bonnaire. It's a very slow movie with little to no action but it's a hypnotic story of how a free-spirited homeless girl, wandering the French countryside, gradually falls into ever worsening situations whilst meeting a wide variety of characters along the way who either try to save her or use her.
I loved Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardieu because the subtitles had been written by Anthony Burgess, the author, and he managed to make them as lyrical and poetic as the original french. It was also a damn good film .
Camille Claudel and Jean de Florette are both heart-breaking and excellent movies and La Fille d'Artagnan was very very funny. |
