French movies

[bella]

So I have recently discovered the world of french movies, and i must say, i'm in love!
It all started with the movies Jeux d'enfants, Amelie Poulain, and A la folie, pas du tout.. all great movies that got me hooked, and I really want to see more, so i was wondering if anyone can recommend good french movies???

[Frisbeetarian]

Peau D'ane, les demoiselles de rochefort, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, all in all most french flicks are chick flicks but hey there a some good classic french movies but all in all no really great ones.

I am gonna suggest you some french canadian movies such as Maelstrom, Les Boys (all of them), Mambo italiano, Elles étaient cinq, Aurore et Les voleurs d'enfance

Chez les Chti's ,
light comedy but really wonderful movie, not to be missed. Was playing in Abraj cinemas lately, don't know if it's still running.

And did you already? Somehow I particularly like how it begins, and the ending.

It was advertised as the French version of American Pie, which is not really true, only in a sense that the movie shows the daily "adventures" and teenage problems of a 15 year-old girl. Well it is very french.
