I often watch foreign language films on Netflix or Channel 4 (I don’t have French tv in France as my aerial blew off the roof in a storm and I haven’t got round to fixing it yet).
Any good films you can recommend?
I just watched one on Netflix I liked - Who You Think I am - with Juliette Binoche. If you are a woman of a certain age I think you might enjoy it, maybe men might not. |

A couple of the old les charlots films from the 70s can be good for a harmless giggle .
And one loosely translated as
The man who could walk through walls .very entertaining

For a taste of the Provence, Marcel Pagnol's 'Jean de Florette' & 'Manon des Sources' are classics.
More recent films such as 'Amélie' and 'Delicatessen' are amusingly off-beat and for reality 'A Prophet' is, to my mind, the best French film of recent years |

Thanks - I have seen all except A Prophet so will look for that. I used to have a secret crush on Gerard Depardieu  |

"100 foot Journey filmed near us..lovely little movie for a rainy day "
Yes I saw that a couple of years ago - I read the book first but the film didn’t disappoint. |

I’m a big fan of Audrey Tatou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet 
Mine would be La Cité des enfants perdus, although unlikely to find on Netflix |

"I used to have a secret crush on Gerard Depardieu"
The best Depardieu film ever has GOT to be "Tais-Toi!" in which he plays the village idiot teamed up with tough gangster Jean Reno |

Yes I saw that but years ago. I think he used to be a terrific actor and had such stage presence but has gone to the dogs. I watched something on Netflix about Marseille and it was unwatchable. |

Good old Gerard hails from our nearest city of Chateauroux and in his early days was both a rent boy and I grave robber so the rumor goes!!!!!
Great actor.

"I watched all of [Spiral] and loved it - not sure the ending was satisfactory though."
Couldn't agree more. In fact, they should have shut it down one series earlier. Also, it was a rookie TV writing error for Laure and Gilou to shag. |

Agree - no passion there, just mush |

Not sure about Netflix but Hidden (Cache) is an excellent film as is 36 (a good gritty cop film)
I watched the remake of "Miami Vice" with French audio and English subtitles which turned it into a gritty French crime drama.
Spiral is excellent- nobody exclaims 'Putain" better than Laure.
