Oh yeah, Umbrellas of Chambourg which is interesting as I think musicals in a foreign language are about the toughest thing to cross national boundaries.

Umbrellas is great - I also love Bay of Angels and Donkey Skin by Demy.

What about Melville's Le Samouraï - Alain Delon has never been cooler.

I forgot about Le Femme Nikita! Love that film!

Now, when is La Lectrice going to come out on DVD so I can see if it is as good as I remember it to be?

Wow, I couldn't think of any I've seen.
Damn, I'm retarded.

But, I've seen La Femme Nikita -- Loved it.
Triplets of Belleville
Amelie
Dreamers - Awesome

I'm sure I"ve seen plenty of American films that were originally French... hmmm

We could have quite le festival de film très swanky. :cool:

We do have a gaping hole, though: no crazy lady tour de forces. You know, beautiful actress plays tragic raving loon to critical acclaim. What do you think of «Adèle H.» or «La Dentellière»?

The entire French-speaking world is our oyster.
