If you fancy a bit of an old school classic then Francois Truffaut's 'Jules et Jim' makes for fantastic viewing.

Irreversible - if you can get past the overdone hype of certain aspects of this film it is both shocking and incredible in the same.

I've just watched this, based on its appearance on these pages...

That reminds me ... I watched Irreversible based on the recommendations in this thread. Apart from the fact that the camera work was giving me motion sickness ... I really had to turn it off when it got to the fire extinguisher scene. I would avoid, unless you have a strong stomach.

And that's the second scene! How far did you get?!

I found it really tricky to watch but glad I made it to the end. The focus moves from upsetting your stomach to upsetting your head; it was sad.

Two excellent oldies, The Wages of Fear and Rififi, I think that is how its spelt, very old, but spellbinding

Rififi has the longest silent scene in a film apparently. Bloody good film.

War film about African (Algerian) soldiers in WW2...cannot remember the name...but it was very good!

Loved 36 and Mesirine, may look at a few of the others.

Back to school is always present La Reine Margot, Jean de Florette and Manon de source. Since you like to tell anyone, you may want to hide the person continued to accept their own surveillence camera, which he said something to do with his past.

I found these Depardieu ones on LOVEfilm quite good - Maîtresse (quite an eye opener), Going Places (French: Les Valseuses) and Nathalie (featuring the stunning Emmanuelle Béart).

Just watched Little White Lies and it's a beauty....

Little White Lies (2010) - IMDb

It's got Marion Cotillard in it and she is FINE

Can't believe that no-one's mentioned the films by Claude Chabrol. Probably one of the greatest French film directors ever!
He was called the Alfred Hitchcock of France and my favourite is a bit old but still brilliant, called Le Boucher (The Butcher).

Got this coming next!

Tonight I will be settling down in front of the TV with this cheeky little French flick (supposed to be a cracker):

If Action/Parkour/Buddy/Slightly-Slapstick movies are your bag then you could do worse than give Banlieue 13 a go.

Point Blank by the bloke who did Anything For Her is very good

Saw 'Que la Bête Meure' by Chabrol was well which was very good.
