Favorite Answer

Here are some of my favorite across the board, all available on Netflix:

"Trois Couleurs: Bleu, Blanc and Rouge". This is by Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski, but contains French language/cast
"La cite des enfants perdus" ("City of Lost Children")
"Delicatessen"
"Jules et Jim"
"Joyeux Noel"
"La grande illusion"
"La deux vie de Veronique" ("The Double Life of Veronique")- Kieslowski again
"La Tourneuse de Pages" ("The Page Turner")
"La Haine" ("Hate")
"Le Scaphandre et le papillon" ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly")
"A la Folie...Pas du Tout" ("He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not")
"Jeux D'Enfants" ("Love Me if You Dare")
"L'Enfant"
"La Moustache"
"Cache"
"Feux Rouges" ("Red Lights")

Sorry if this list is a bit long, I just love French/otherwise foreign cinema!

Jean de Floret(with Gerard Depardieu) and it's sequel Manon Of The Spring are both very enjoyable well done movies.
Also anything with Gerard Depardieu is good.

400 Blows was highly acclaimed by critics, and a very enjoyable movie about a young boy. Not as entertaining as the other two, but more artistic in my opinion.

Jean de florette and the sequel to it manon des sources are 2 of my favorite films,you should check them out and la vie en rose is good too,It's about the french singer Edith Piaf.

You can get them with subtitles

LOL. District 13 is a great great action flick. A must see. Also Brotherhood of the Wolf, kind of slow but I enjoyed it. Check 'em both out. Enjoy!!!!

Les Miserables

My french teacher forced me to watch it. It wasn't too bad. The sewer scene scared me though.
