About

This website is by no means an exhaustive list of French movies, but a simple gateway to the particular films that I have enjoyed.  The films are listed alphabetically under the appropriate categories.

I love French movies. Here’s a partial list of why:

  • The scenery. I’ve traveled a bit in France, and there is something thrilling about watching a scene in a movie and realizing that you’ve been to the location that it was filmed in.
  • French films in general are great ways to learn about the French culture.
  • Escapism. Movies have always been about escaping from our day to day lives, and who among us hasn’t fantasized about holing up in a smoky Parisian Cafe while writing the next great American novel?
  • The language.

On this site you’ll find an ever-expanding list of some of my favorite French films, and when available, affiliate links to the DVDs and movie posters for those collectors among you.

A Few Words About Affiliate Links

When you click on a link that takes you to Amazon.com, for example, I’ll get a small commission if you decide to purchase one of the products I recommend. This is at no extra cost to you. In other words, you’ll pay the same price as if you found the product on your own. Using an affiliate link is a simple way you can help me to keep this website going. Hopefully you enjoy the content that I’ve posted here, regardless of whether or not you decide to make a purchase.

    Years ago, and I’d love to see it again. I enjoyed it then, and now that I’m a little older (and presumably wiser) I think I’ll get more out of the second viewing.
    Melville’s films were amazing. My favorite of his is Bob le Flambeur.
