You Know Who Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Thought this might be fun, considering how well people responded to the Favorite/Best threads by decade the other year. I chose by region rather than by country since I don't see many people responding to one devoted to Denmark, Myanmar, or Kenya, but ones devoted to Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, or sub-Saharan Africa might have potential.We can discuss favorite French actors, directors, films in English set in France, etc. as well, but to start off, my favorite film in French set in France is Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l'échafaud). The best I've seen so far is Hate (La Haine).Honorable Mentions: Amelie, Joyeux Noel, Untouchables, 13 Tzameti Edited November 15, 2015 by You Know Who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 A L'Interieurs, Les Martyrs and Haute Tension changed modern horror cinema. Love them all in a different way. Les Diabolique (1955) is pretty amazing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 L'Atalante has the best love scene in cinema; Jean-Pierre Léaud gives one of its best performances in The 400 Blows. Jean Renoir plays the best character in his own masterpiece, The Rules of the Game.Few directors have an 8 year creative streak on the level of Jean-Luc Godard's New Wave period from 1960-67. I've yet to see a film by Agnes Varda that I dislike, she's criminally underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I like Cocteau's Belle y la Bete (Beauty and the Beast).Un Chien Andalou is my everything.I am not cultured enough that I can ever get past the eyeball scene from that movie.
