The Top Ten
1 Amelie

A Movie whit a girl who appreciates the little things what make life what it is and in the process help's people to discover what they can't discover
Beside this there are some cool statistics to from the narator,for example did you know that the No. of the connections in the human brain is bigger than the No of the atoms in the whole universe?

I love this film, it's truly French.. you know.. the atmosphere is French)I do admire Audrey.

Best non English film I ever watched. It is really heart warming to watch. Great movie!

2 The Passion of Joan of Arc
3 Irréversible
4 Contempt
5 Hiroshima Mon Amour
6 The City of Lost Children
7 Chimes at Midnight
8 Les Visiteurs

Best french comedy.

9 The Fifth Element
10 Crimson Rivers
The Contenders
11 Les Vampires
12 8 Femmes
13 La Haine

La Haine défonce tout! The movie is cult, beautiful and it has a message. Everything in this movie is awesome, the storyline, the acting, the dialogues. This is the best French movie after Les Enfants du Paradis. You want to see modern French cinema at his finest, this is THE MOVIE you want to watch.

Excellent dialogues. Heavy symbolism, excellent directing, breathtaking storyline. The closing scene leaves you with goosebumps for hours.
"Ce qui compte, c'est pas la chute. C'est l'atterissage."

14 Wages of Fear
15 Jean de Florette / Manon des Sources
16 Intouchables

After he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires a young man from the projects to be his caretaker.

Moving and very funny with a sad subject

What the Hell?! Why isn't that #1?

17 Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-sec
18 The Rules of the Game
19 L'annee Dernière À Marienbad
20 Pickpocket
21 Delicatessen
22 Breathless

Arguably the greatest of the new wave

23 Children of Paradise
24 The 400 Blows

So influencial - you can see this movie probably influened Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange", "Full Metal Jacket" and possibly "Barry Lyndon". Wish every new parent could see the message in this movie.

One of the only 2 French movies I've seen, and it's better out of the two.
