Toughie... Les Yeux Sans Visage, Les Quatre Cent Coups, La Règle du Jeu, Under The Roofs of Paris, Un Chien Andalou... and thats just oldies. I love contemporary French film too.

--Les Yeux Sans Visage--. What a film! Haunting. It's a recent film but have you checked out 36? Brilliant film as good as 'Heat' which it is similar too. Damn should rename this thread French cinema lol

Have you ever seen Un Chien Andalou? Its one of the most uncomfortable films you'll ever watch. I've seen a bit of it but i got bored :S i need to be in the right frame of mind for some films so i'll give it another go.

Lol yer, i dont think anybody's watched the videos i put up haha

Oh yeah. A few times :D The eyes slashing was a sheeps eye in case you were wondering.

Un Chien Andalou was great, I love that film. Other than that, the only Luis Bunuel film I've seen is The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, which was also pretty great, but I think I'll need to watch a few more times before I can truly appreciate it. And I would watch the videos you put up, but I prefer to watch films on a bigger screen and in higher quality than youtube.

Thats fair enough, i just wanted to provide samples for people who were not familiar with any of it. I would advise you stick on Nosferatu, Dr Caligari or The Golem on a big screen in a room with all the lights out so your senses are honed in on the film and only the film.

For the past year or two I've been on a kick of trying to watch a lot of these movies. I absolutely loved Metropolis and M. I had a harder time getting into The Cabinet of Dr Cagliari and Nosferatu though I'm glad I saw them. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anyone who has The Golem for rent, I'd really like to see that one.
