The only ones that I can remember the names of are 'femme de gilles' and 'jeux d'enfants' which I think you've seen. I can think of two more but I don't know the names of them... one was really creepy to be watching at like 2 in the morning.. I could explain the plot but that kind of loses the point haha
And I remember watching 'chocolat' in class, but you've probably seen that too

iv defs seen jeux d'enfants and chocolat but im not sure about la femme de gilles.. i looked it up and the story line seems very familiar but im thinking maybe it was something i was planning on watching on sbs but didnt end up watching it. hmm i might just go to the video store and see what they've got haha

and iv heard of eraserhead but iv never seen it, isnt it some completely bizarre movie or something ha? maybe for after exam time ha

Man Bites Dog / c'est arriv? pr?s de chez vous

    [an example of the disparity you often see between French film titles and their anglophone "translations"]

   also, a film which makes you laugh out loud for much of it, but then wonder how you *could* laugh at it.
   

   But srsly, are you'd have to have seen a lot of films to have seen every French films [Man Bites Dog is actually Belgian] to have seen every one worth watching.

  LOL, I think I've heard you mention that one in the distant past. I'm somewhat tempted now. Maybe tell me I should watch it 10 more times and I will :)

Try Eraserhead.

It's surrealist.
