Huh - this was totally not what I was expecting when I clicked into this thread. What about:
"A bout de souffle" (aka Breathless) by Godard?
"Le Samourai" or "Le Cercle Rouge" by Melville?
"400 Blows", "Grand Illusion", etc?
I mean, you've got some good movies up there, but when you say "French Films" I expect to see at least one Godard up there.

Did no one read the first post? 
But, if we're listing all the good French films not in the poll
, we could add Diva.

You could always add Betty Blue and Subway to this.
And last year was the French made Tell No One which takes a Harlen Corbin story and sets it in France. very good.
But no Jean Reno films ?
No Jean Louis Trintignant ?
No Bardot ?
And what about Truffaut ? Day For Night about a film being made should be on the list.
But Jean Paul Belmondo and Marlene Jobert should be there as well.
And Jacques Tati.
Find Rififfi which is about a robbery gone wrong made by Jules Dassin in the 50s.
The Wages of Fear with Yves Montand
Rules of the Game by Renoir (IIRC)
La Belle et La Bete

Or Diabolique... no Henri-Georges Clouzot on these lists is a crime.
I came here to make sure that Leon and City of Lost Children were acounted for. Seeing as that job has been taken care of, I will also note that Amelie was pretty good, although not really worthy of a "favorite" title.

I enjoyed the hell out of District B13.

It's obvious to me know I have'nt even seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to french films and also I don't know how to add more to the poll as I have never had this probelm before
