French movies...?


I'm looking for good French movies. I don't mean 'popular' French films. I'm looking for 'artistic' ones like Amelie.
Do you have any to recommend?

Thanks in advance!

We just watched Le Papillon and it was wonderful! Highly recommended and available through Netflix, Amazon.com, etc. Amusez vous bien!

p.s. Also highly recommended are "Le Ch芒teau de ma m猫re" and "La Gloire de mon p猫re"!

Joyeaux Noel is realy beautiful. It's about Christmas during World War 1.

This is a list. I hope it matches what you are looking for:

1. Le Fabuleux destin d'Am茅lie Poulain (2001)
2. Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie (1972)
3. Delicatessen (1991)
4. Play Time (1967)
5. Le Fant么me de la libert茅 (1974)
6. Z茅ro de conduite: Jeunes diables au coll猫ge (1933)
7. Mon oncle d'Am茅rique (1980)
8. Mon oncle (1958)
9. L'脗ge d'or (1930)
10. Une femme est une femme (1961)

Paris Je t'aime is lovely

"Paris je t'aime" et "Le temps du loup"

i think you'd like ''les valseues''(swinging balls) with g茅rard d茅pardieu. its from the 70's and was sort of the posterchild for the equivalent of the hippie movement in the u.s.

also, a more recent film that is great is called "tanguy"(ton gee) which is about a parisian adult who won't leave his parents apartment. its hilarious!

but, if you take any of my advice, you must see "l'auberge espanol. i trust you can pronounce those. anywho, its about a group of exchange college students passing a semester together in france. its absolutely fantastic.

and fyi... just about any french film is going to have more substance and be more artistic than a lot of american movies. the french filmmakers haven't yet got so greedy that they churn out a bunch of ridiculous nonsense to make a quick 50 mil. besides, the french wouldn't go for it if they did.

happy hunting

City of Lost Children

I could highly recommend you:

Etre Et Avoir

The Widow of Saint-Pierre with Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteuil is an exquisite piece of art, IMHO!

Well "Amelie" is very popular!!

Some old french films:
Les enfants du paradis
La r猫gle du jeu
Pierrot le fou
A bout de souffle

2007 films:
Tr猫s bien merci
Naissance des pieuvres (kind of S.Coppola's films)
A l'int茅rieur (horror film)

It would be better if you told us more about what you want, there's a lot of films.
