French movies

Started by Rapscallion6 pages

My favorite french movie was Au Revoir Les Enfants, but I also liked Cyrano de Bergerac and Les Diabolques.

Has anyone seen the action film The Nest/Nid de guêpes? fabulous film like Assault on Precinct 13, wonderful.

La Haine is a very good one, but 'Léon : The Professional' 'till now, it's the french movie I prefer....
There are also 'Les rivières pourpres 1 & 2' with Jean Reno...Not Bad...

You know I don't like French movies. Once, I saw three of them, one after another. They were so boring!

Not ALL french films are boring... What are these films you saw?

The 'Three Colors' trilogy is stunning, but the best French movie I've seen is 'Betty Blue'...so hot, it hurts...

'La Haine' is good, too...

I don't remeber the names, but one movie was about women in jail. Maybe some of the French movies are good, but I personally haven't seen any good French movies. Can you recommend me some?

Go through this topic, there are lots of good French films to check out...

I liked 8 women. I thought that it was a really good movie. Plus Audrey Tautou comes out in it and she is one of my favorite actresses. I thought that some of the singing was a bit over the top but, other than that I really enjoyed the film. 🙂

Tautou is not in 8 Women... still 8 Women is good, enjoyed it.

The 'Three Colors' trilogy is stunning

Urgh indeed, I absolutely adore Blue.

Amélie was good

It was good, but just that. Imo it is a VERY overrate movie.

agree, 8 femmes was horrible imho
they tried to make fun of it all, but I really disliked it

My sister hated it aswell... I loved it, the storyline was a little broken but it was funny and entretaining.

I know! I'm addicted to it.. I've seen them all at least 3 times each.

The only French language films I like are Canadian.

I was actually considering purchasing the Three Colours trilogy, mind reviewing it for me?

I've seen "3 hommes et un couffin", it wasn't as hilarious as my french teacher had made it out to be. It's the french version of "Three Men and a Baby" really, literally translated to be "three men and a cradle."

I've also seen "Les Compères", in translation meaning the partners, and let me tell you, I freaking love this movie. Pierre Richard and Gerard Depardieu are amazing as a duo. Had me laughing out loud. "Father's Day" with Billy Crystal and Robin Williams is the english re-make.

I love any movie Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard are in, and any movie Luc Besson is involved with.

I haven't seen the Taxi movies though, but I'm dying to! The only Taxi movie I've seen was the US remake 😬

Are the French ones better?

I hav watched a WHOLE LOT of french films! n I JUST LOV THEM!!!
they r very different 4m hollywood films.They r all abt human emotions n psyche.They r very unique.I don't kno the name of any french film I'v watched but they were all GR8! 4m story to picturization, french movies r 1 of their kind!

You have watched a WHOLE LOT, but can't remember one name...

Urgh of course the French films are better, the remake was horrendous. Go watch the Taxi trilogy, well worth it. Besson is going to do a fourth French Taxi film too, can't wait for it.

Okay, who is Marion Cotillard's character? Good guy? Bad guy? What?

I was a little bummed out when i saw her name was never listed to be in the 4th. 🙁

Did her character like DIE or something?

no-one's mentioned "the beat that my heart skipped"

absolutely fan-feckin-tastic movie

i like french Kieslowski movies 😛 REd, white and blue.

a polish-french combo!
