Some good French films for someone learning the language to watch?

Question

I'm doing French A level next year and I figured it might be a good idea to watch some French films and TV programmes so I can get used to listening to French. 
I'm planning on getting Les Chansons D'Amour (the musical with Louis Garrel in) and I'm gonna watch Spiral, a TV series my parents have been watching - I think it's a crime drama but I can't remember. I've seen Amelie :)

Any ideas?

I would really recommend:
Un prophet
Au revoir les enfants
Day for Night
Priceless
La Classe
I've Loved you So Long
The Chorus
These are all really great, my personal favourites being the first four!
Enjoy and good luck with your A level!
