La môme (aka La Vie En Rose)
La belle et la bête (aka Beauty and the Beast)
Nikita (aka La Femme Nikita)
Les Diaboliques) (aka Diabolique)
La Cage Aux Folles

The last three were redone with terrible American movies. The French versions are far superior!

Amélie
Delicatessen
La Cage aux Folles (The American remake of this was good, too. Definitely not AS good. But good.)
Les diaboliques (The American remake of this one WAS shit.)
Le retour de Martin Guerre (Also has a shit American remake. Dammit, Hollywood, stop that!)
Les Visiteurs (YET ANOTHER with an absolutely garbage American remake…)
Ma vie en rose (Different than La Vie en Rose. I’d skip that one.)
La Règle du Jeu
Le dîner de cons
Les Triplettes de Belleville

Jean de Florette is an excellent French movie. There is a sequel as well, called Manon des Sources. I haven’t seen it yet, but I plan on seeing it sometime this coming January, I hear it’s even better than the first. Jean de Florette is definitely worth watching!
