Please put only 10 movies in your top ten. The restrictions are what makes it fun. Cough @RASIE cough

once i saw a list like this and 8 of 10 movies were about prostitutes and since then ive not been able to stop thinking what the f*** is wrong with the french

4. A Man Escaped
5. Hail Mary
6. The Wages of Fear

1. The Rules of the Game
2. Au Hasard Balthazar
3. The Passion of Joan of Arc
4. The 400 Blows

honestly need to rewatch some of the others I'd put on here to refresh how I feel about them such as the Three Colors trilogy to rank them more confidently

1. Le Samouraï
2. Mauvais sang
3. Le Salaire de la peur
4. Assasins et voleurs
5. Le diable probablement
6. Z
7. Le feu follet
8. La belle et la bête
9. Les demoiselles de Rochefort
10. Vivre sa vie
11 (fuck it). La religieuse

extremely difficult, missing assayas & rohmer, more godard, rivette, guitry, carax and melville. tried to only limit myself to one film per director

been getting in some pialat too and he's one of the best of the french 70s.

Lea Seydoux titties

also clouzot did suspense better than hitchcock

blue is the warmest color

nah why was the movie i was bout to post about a prostitute

She's my most watched actor this year

avi to post ratio

i love clouzot but you're wrong

Can’t make a list rn

But I’m sure La Haine is my number 1

1. Army of Shadows
2. The Passion of Joan of Arc
3. Breathless
4. Blue is The Warmest Colour
5. Purple Noon
6. Contempt
7. A Woman is a Woman
8. Mr. Klein
9. The Earrings of Madame de…
10. La Haine

nah wouldn’t be no psycho without les diaboliques (which hitchcock wanted to make but luckily clouzot got the film rights) that ending better than any suspense scene hitchcock done (de palma also did suspense better than AH)

man the whole truck ride to the oil field in le salaire de la peur is like 2h of knots in ur gut

respect for mr. klein solid list

Strangers On a Train outsold

Contempt
The 400 Blows
