Favorite French Film of all time

[arcanaman]

Cyrano de bergac. The 1945 version. Claude Dauphin as Cyrano has to be the best performance of his life.

Sorry It's the french versionstaring Gerad Depardu I'm not sure I

spelled his name right But he's been in a lot of movies

 

[Wombat]

There are some good ones on the list, but...

La Cité des enfants perdus?
Delicatessen?
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain?

Or what of La Cage aux Folles?

Do none of these deserve mention?

Je suis stupide desoclae that was the only version I've seen

Le Chien d'Andalou. I think that is the spelling...

Considering that pretty much all the French films I have ever seen are either old silent films made in the pre-WW1 period when France dominated the global film industry, and one more modern musical (as in every line was sung) that really depressed me, I decided to go with one of the true pinnacles of classic surrealism. Seriously, that movie made no sense, but was bizarre fun in its own disturbing way. I am not sure it counts, though, since the man who made the film was Spanish...

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

What was the one with Ron Perlman set on an oil derick and a mad scientist?

I voted Ridicule because it is my favorite. Two of my other top choices were missing as well.

La Femme Nikita
Le Pacte des loups

Those would have been my picks.

I'm pretty sure the US version of Léon is the only french film I have watched all the way through. I guess that means it is my "Favorite French Film of all time".

 

[Cat Moon]

Favorite French film?! The only one I've ever seen was Leon.

The exclusion of Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain kind of saddens me, it's my girlfriend's favorite movie. Also the top-grossing french movie in America. Le Samourai is my favorite, and I don't think I saw a single Alain Delon film on there.
