Where is the masterpiece that is ' THE EIGHTH DAY ' - ' Le Huitieme Jour '. Sheer joy from the start to the finish.

Enter the Void shouldn't be on the list (none of Noe's films should be). Sans soleil and some of Tati's films should be ranked quite a bit higher. Delicatessen should not even be on the list (none of Jeunet's films should be). Pickpocket and The Passion of Joan of Arc should be in at least the top twenty, preferably in the top ten. All of Bresson's films should be on the list. La Haine and To Our Loves are ranked much too favorably and an arguement could be made that they don't even belong on this list. Breathless should be in the top twenty as should Hiroshima mon amour. Au hasard Balthazar could possibly take the number one spot and should at least be in the top eight or so. This list also needs more Renoir. These are all just my opinion(s) of course and creating lists like this is generally problematic and difficult so I applaud the effort.

Thanks for the list. I'll start watching those I haven't seen (about 90) so it could take a while. As for the top 100. What does it really matter. I love much of French cinema. More subtle, intelligent, a heightened awareness of human conflict, comedy, despair and love, rather than the shallow pond of celluloid, superficial plastic fantastic regurgitated by Hollywood. But there are always exceptions on both sides of the Atlantic. I'll enjoy working my way through the list.

also La voiee lactee and The discreet charm of the bourjoise are both great, too bad they aren't listed here :(

Vivre pour Vivre (Lelouch) is best.

L'Atalante still strikes me as the greatest ever, anywhere, but I don't have a quarrel with Rules of the Game. My only quarrel is with the absence of The Earrings of Madame de . . ., which should be in the top 10. Congratulations always on not forgetting The Green Ray.
