Any good French movies?
We just came back from a fabulous trip to France. Thanks to many of you here, our trip ended up being tres magnifique. We will write our trip report this weekend.
But in the meantime, I was wondering if you can recommend any movies that has to do with France?
We loved it so much and want to be reminded of the beautiful scenery and atmosphere there. I know of Amelie, Forget Paris, French Kiss, The lovers of the bridge, Paris je taime, Chocolate. I will probably rent Somethings gotta give again. I fell in love with that bridge, Pont Alexandre and have to see it again!
But do you know of any other good movies?

I have watched "Au Revoir Les Enfants" several times; it is my favorite Louis Malle film.
If you search movies and cigalechanta you will doubtlessly find a treasure trove as she is a true French cinephile.

Ratatouille of course!
En francais? Rent or buy Three Colors: Blue, White and Red, Krysztof Kieslowski's wonderful trilogy. Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy and Irene Jacob are the stars of each of these. Be sure to view them in order.

In L.A., we have seen in the past few months:
Tell No One (action drama)
Roman de Gare (mystery drama)
Grocer's Son (poignant drama)
All three, in the above order, did very well at the local box offices. We thoroughly enjoyed all three.
The chase scene ON FOOT, in Tell No One was a unique classic!
