Your Top Twenty Favorite Flicks of All Time

[Jérôme Frenchise]

You had a real cool teacher anyway.
I teach English to high-school pupils, and the toughest I've ever shown was "Bonnie and Clyde" or, in another genre, the Pythons' "Meaning of life".
I couldn't stand Kassovitz, so I boycotted "La haine". I might have missed something worth it, yet.
Then I left the cinema at about half of "Trainspotting", but saw "A clockwork orange" twice in a row at the same period, when they put it back on screens in a little movie theater I knew well. Maybe it's just Kubrick who only could make transcendent art even with that much violence?

yeah, we had cool french teachers, one is a famous author now, had a film made out of one of her books. another one is in prison though so you gotta ride out your luck eh?! we got shown subway and nikita in french class, nikita is way out there in some places, really dark shit. agree with you about trainspotting and clockwork orange. kubrick's film is dream-like, ethereal, it's kinda like witnessing violence by proxy. trainspotting is much more gritty and in your face, very worth watching.

"Nikita"... You may say I'm hard to please, but I can't stand Besson's films either!
Christophe Lambert used to be a good actor. Back at the time of "Subway", in which you had a few great French supporting actors, like J-P Bacri (police inspector, " 'Chier! 'Chier!") or Michel Galabru (nutty ageing superintendent).
But mostly, our national star, one of my darlings: Isabelle Adjani.
