MO
10.07.11 | The 3 colours are so great, I think it was Blue that is the super depressing one about the wife who loses her husband and daughter?
I hate Paris, the rest of France is sick tho. |

10.07.11 | "I hate Paris, the rest of France is sick tho."
Couldn't agree more, It was cool to see the Louvre and Eiffel Tower but other than that it blew and the people were dicks. I also stayed in a little Resort town that was awesome though so they saved me from hating the French. ;^)
I'll see if i can dig up the name of that little town.
"Blue that is the super depressing one about the wife who loses her husband and daughter? "
Correct, I could be wrong but I think it was a son. It's been a while since I watched them.
"title may differ in English"
Yes absolutely, I'm in region 1 so I'm going to get the English version every time. |
seifer
10.07.11 | but if you are looking for french movies i would rec "les rivieres poupres" pretty good thriller |
MO
10.07.11 | Next time I go to France I'm renting a car and driving around the country, been told that's the best way to experience it. |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | "The Crimson Rivers"
I was looking at that earlier when I was pulling my list together. I'll watch just about anything with Jean Reno in it. He's a phenomenal actor imo. Ronin is a great movie if you haven't seen it. |
ffs
10.07.11 | im completely indifferent |
seifer
10.07.11 | will check out ronin but about reno dont watch his latest movies they basically all suck |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | Well ffs.
Good to know Seifer, I'll keep it in mind. He only has a supporting role in Ronin so all is well there. |
Wolfhorde
10.07.11 | My uncle has a mansion South France. Nice landscapes there. And France has good music. The people can be odd though. |
seifer
10.07.11 | well he was still good in the 90s just probably doesnt care anymore i guess and also recently watched a movie called "un prophet" very good, think it won the palme d'or in 2009 or 2010 |
BigHans
10.07.11 | France has good food. |

10.07.11 | J'aime Paris |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | ^ are you talking about the 18 short stories? If so it sounds interesting but not easy to find anything on. |
KILL
10.07.11 | south of france rules |
Kimm
10.07.11 | Je veux aller au Paris!
Was that grammatically correct? |
Wolfhorde
10.07.11 | Toulouse > Paris. |
TheNotrap
10.07.11 | Sadly I didn't see Paris, Je t'aime yet. I was talking about Paris, one of my fav and usual voyage destination |
TheNotrap
10.07.11 | @Wolfhorde
I totally love Toulouse. I spent 1 week there this summer. I love the south of France |
MO
10.07.11 | Marseille was one of my favourites. |
BallsToTheWall
10.07.11 | Le Samourai is essential Noir. Been meaning to get into more jean Pierre Melville, Army of Shadows and Leon Morin Priest are supposed to be fantastic.
John Coctaeu's Beauty and The Beast rules too if were speaking about good French movies here. |
Wolfhorde
10.07.11 | "Marseille was one of my favourites."
Also nice. Though I prefer Toulouse mainly because sitting on the deck of the mansion of a French army general who's related to you, eating expensive food & drinking expensive wine is pretty awesome. |

I think anyone would feel that way under those circumstances :P |

10.07.11 | "I love the south of France"
Furthest south I went was Paris (not far at all) after that it was to the ski town I mentioned above. Oddly enough where my German ancestors are from... I assume thats a border dispute... Wolfy you have any idea why that may be? |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | Seen Dead Ringers Balls? |
Wolfhorde
10.07.11 | "I think anyone would feel that way under those circumstances :P"
That's what I was pointing out. Err.. which town/region/federal state, omni? |
BallsToTheWall
10.07.11 | No Omni. |

10.07.11 | YOU MUST! Jeremy Irons at his fucked up best. |

10.07.11 | La liste est très intéressante. C'est toujours plaisant d'entendre parler de nos voisins outre-mer les Français.
Interesting list! It's always pleasant to hear about my overseas neighbors the Français. Especially from sputnik. |
Jethro42
10.07.11 | For #7, ''La Femme Nikita'' I played hockey 3 seasons with a schoolmate (and neighbor at the time) Roy Dupuis, the main actor.
@Irving; Hey salut mon pote! Vas-tu revenir faire un tour au Canada un jour? |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | Roy Dupuis: he looks really familiar, maybe from that first Series.
Have you seen any of these Jethro? |
Jethro42
10.07.11 | I don't think so. Le Cinéma Français et le Cinéma Québécois are two different things. Also my knowledge of the 7th art is rather poor in the first place. |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | I would heavily recommend all of these to you sir. |
Jethro42
10.07.11 | Super! Je sais apprécier un bon film.
Cool! An excellent movie is an excellent movie! Thanks bro. |
Metamorphosis
10.07.11 | Call me what you may, but I actually like French Nu-Metal band Pleymo. I thought they performed within that genre quite masterfully. |
anarchistfish
10.07.11 | I'm half French so yeah I like France. Parisians are dickheads though and the only French band I listen to are Gojira |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | I love their food, cinema and women but not so much their modern music. I do beleive I've heard a group or two I thought were good but other than that (and Daft Punk) not so much. |
Jethro42
10.07.11 | I'm not fond of France's music. They have a great bunch of famous crooners though (dinosaurs for the most part), such as Charles Aznavour, Gilbert BĂ©caud, Michel Fugain, Joe Dassin, Michel Sardou, Francis Cabrel etc...But it seems they don't know how to jam on rock properly. |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | ^ this and of course their classical composers. on second thought their electronica in general seems to be pretty good though. |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | "I'm half French so yeah I like France. Parisians are dickheads though and the only French band I listen to are Gojira"
Haha AF |
Jethro42
10.07.11 | They had the new-wave formation in the 80s, ''Indochine''. They were very successful in France and some of their hits like this one had a lot of airplay here in Quebec;

omnipanzer
10.07.11 | It doesn't sound bad but that video is for shit haha. |
Jethro42
10.07.11 | Yeah also I really can't remember their best hits. Never been a fan myself haha.
I think the poet/singer Léo Ferré and the rocker Renaud (lots of stuff to sing along to) are among the very best of what France had to offer ever. And for my dear progressive rock, it's never been their strenght, really. |
omnipanzer
10.07.11 | Haha no nor for my Blues-rock or Blue Eyed Soul |
kangaroopoo
10.07.11 | Been to Paris, Lyon, Toulouse and Brittany. All great, loved Paris.
Amelie, La Femme Nikita and Irreversible faves. Can't forget in High Tension the scene with the man in the truck and the decapitated head. Haven't seen 8-10. I rec Le Libertin (Audrey Tautou naked), Subway (Christophe Lambert lol) and Martyrs. |
omnipanzer
10.08.11 | Great, thanks roopoo |
