Anyone watched Cine Moi yet? It's the channel on Sky and Virgin devoted to French film. I watched a film last week that was so crap that I've forgotten its name already, but there's more promising stuff on it.
I thought it was soppy romantic slush - unbelievably silly, Two hours of my life I won't get back
I don't mind some romantic films - Les Enfants du Paradis is about an eternal triangle, yet is one of the best films ever made - but Amelie is cinematic chick-lit
EDIT:Spider, I didn't say it...
