Your Favorite French Movies

[jc87]

A few years ago when I was in high school I was addicted to French cinema, mainly because I was tired of the average Hollywood pics in which you can predict the ending in the first five minutes.

Unfortunately I lost touch with the people who would recommend me good French movies, so here I am posting a list of my favourites, and hoping you share yours with me too.

Most of this movies feature Audrey Tautou (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0851582/), which is one of my favourite actresses.
