i think besson is not a good director, or maybe im not into his kind of movies..
i liked le grand bleu, but hated nikita, leon, all that stuff, and the taxi trilogy, thats shitty. plus i dont like the guy besson himself.
françois ozon is a better french director. he did sitcom, 8 femmes, and la pianiste ( not the pianist :)
and jean pierre jeunet : city of lost children, delicatessen (even alien 4 , bah nobodys perfect)

8 femmes? oh please. The only one in that worth anything was fanny ardant and even then! Deneuve was only ever good in indochine.

in fact i only saw la pianiste and sitcom.. i thought 8 femmes was good but didnt see it coz it is a musical
i hate new musicals most of the french films are trying to be as big as hollywood shits, and most of the rest is too stupid, long films on boring subjects.

ok, my 1 top fav is...
Straight Story (D.Lynch)
Not a single sex scene or a drop of blood! You can go to church on sundays without a single spot on your karma.
What a beautiful movie! I want the soundtrack played on my funeral. Angelo Badalamenti 0wnz.

Talking about french movies:
les valseuses la maman et la putain les vacances de m. Hulot jules et jim les 400 coups
Now for the international (american) movies paris-texas scarface lost highway taxi driver
but also In the mood for love the killer la vita e bella ( life is beautiful )
so many man good movies and so much crap at the local blockbuster. Burn Hollywood burn ! and take your last cowboy/president with you.

i think a genre should be specified... its hard to compare comedies with sci-fi and such.. Citizen Kane is a damn good film, but my favorite would have to be City of Lost Children... my niece was named after Miette!

Depends which version you saw. The American version has a happy ending which entirely defeats the point of the film. I have a 3 DVD box set which includes both versions and it's quite interesting to compare the two. Plus it's got Gilliam's commentary on why it's such so godamn awful from an editing point of view. The 'real' Brazil has a soul-crushing ending.

Im just gonna throw out a few of my tops (besides ones already mentioned):
Logans Run (soooo good) Zardoz (also very good, sean connery kicks ass) Home Alone Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (part I) The Goonies Willie Wanka's (fuckin scary as hell)
basically I like movies that put me in a wierd mood, especially old sci fi and fantasy movies, like Logans Run, Zardoz, Barbarella, and Red Baron. ;)

Never watch Zardoz stoned. You will spend hours trying to figure it out. Either watch it clean, or get so baked that it simply washes over you like a fine green mist.
