Ok, not French but still, saw 'Les Invasions Barbares' the other night. Despite the weird - kinda cheesy cliches, it moved me quite a bit (might have sth to do with my own worries about my father...)

French film as a whole just begs to be put on an overrated list, even though there are plenty of good French films.

I like Truffaut flicks.
Destroy Goddard.

there is something sublime about that still. i mean, you're never in doubt that gabin will be able to resist bardot, but at the same time... those legs!

What I find delicious in that scene is that, while Gabin may be able to resist her, I know I would not.
