Someone did. I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen any of them, and since one of them features the luminous Juliette Binoche !love! that is a dreadful admission.

And also the best one of the three.

Irene Jacob is even more luminous in The Double Life of Veronique .. in my view.

Are you thinking of "Swimming Pool" with Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier ?



Ludivine is also in Gouttes d'eau sur pierres br?lantes (Water Drops on Burning Rocks), another good film worth seeking out.

.

I see "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" with Milla Jovoich is on TV next week - another really good French Film (in English).

Anyone a fan of Jacques Tati "Monsieur Hulot" films ?



Jour De Fete, Mr Hulots Holiday, Mon Oncle.

Really, really funny films. Watch them and you will see where the likes of Benny Hill, Morcombe and Wise etc learnt slapstick.

Sorry to be a p?dant but the film is Nikita. La femme Nikita was the stupid American name and the name of a spy thing, which was utter shite. On the topic, can anyone think of decent French films which sucked when re-made by Yanks??

Nikita- Point of No Return
Martin Guerre- Summersby
Trois hommes et un couffin- 3 men and a baby

You're using the term 'sucked' as in '.. sucked when made by the Yanks' but 'sucked' is a prime Americanism. That's hegemony for you but watch out for it !

banged to rights. Will eliminate word from my vocabulary.

Liked leon and also some of the Alain Delon films
have watched other french films but never thought much of them.

Watch Rififi- up there as one of my best ever

I can think of one straight away, 'La cage aux folles', which goes to show that 'Lez Frogs' can do a comedy really well, and then the Yanks go and completely ruin it again..
