" Bless the beasts and the children "...

I have mentioned only one movie, but can agree with almost everything that is mentioned in this thread.
But I would not mind if you swapped “La soupe aux choux” with “Les choses de la vie”.
Where the late Romy Schneider shines in one of her unforgettable performances (get out your handkerchiefs).

Whilst “La soupe aux choux” means The cabbage soup. Flatulency caused by eating it, is some kind of intergalactic morse, attracting an alien. Yeah I know.
Romy also has made some shxx films. The Sissi-triology should only be tolerated because it made her famous.

I usually prefer foreign language films over Hollywood blockbusters (although there are some exceptions - Bladerunner, the original Star Wars trilogy etc.).

At the top of my list are Tarkovsky’s ‘Stalker’ (1979) and ‘Solaris’ (1972). I love the way that he uses colour and very slow pans (sometimes lasting several minutes) instead of the usual fast-cut action.

Apart from that, dystopian sci-fi is pretty much my thing - THX-1138, Soylent Green, eXistenZ …

Ah, some faves that slipped through the cracks…

Run Lola Run
Red Heat
Halloween
The Lost Boys
Starman
The Crow

I love Louis de Funès! He was extremely popular in Germany when I grew up there. Anyone who likes ‘La soupe aux choux’ will probably also enjoy ‘Kin-dza-dza!’ - quite remarkable how that one slipped through Soviet censorship!

Another director who never fails to impress me is Takeshi Kitano (Fireworks, Dolls, etc.) - again, not necessarily for fans of fast-paced action.

My Cousin Vinnie!

I must have watched dozens of films featuring him, but seem to have completely missed that one!

Jaques Tati is another French director whose films have always fascinated me (Playtime, Mon Oncle, Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot …). His bizarre and subtle humour is outstanding!

That was a semi-joke from my part, this movie is not my absolute favorite. But it’s part of my childhood memories!
I’m not too much into drama movies but I’ll try to see “Les choses de la vie” since Romy was such a beautiful woman.

Yes she was, but she died much too young. Now I always wonder if she would have aged as gracefully as Helen Mirren. Why Helen Mirren: I just watched RED 2 on TV. Nice mix of understatements and hilarious action. Where John Malkovich tells Mary-Louise Parker: Two shots, here and here. Drag the body in there and repeat as necessary.

To Be or Not To Be (Mel Brooks) for that matter pretty much any of his films.
