La Cage Aux Folles (there is an American remake with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane that is good too)
Ronin (Jean Reno and Robert DeNiro star in this one)
La Femme Nikita (also remade in the US)
Hiroshima Mon Amour (New Wave film that takes place in France and Japan)
Wasabi (humorous Jean Reno cop tale)
Les Diaboliques (wicked twists and turns in this suspense thriller)
Les Quatre Cents Coups (aka The 400 Blows, early movie by director Francois Truffaut)
La Nuit Américaine (aka Day for Night, 1973 Academy Award, Best Foreign Film)
A Man and A Woman (great soundtrack)
La Vie en Rose (More than one French version has been made of this classic)
Monsieur Klein (starring Alain Delon)
Is Paris Burning? (stars Jean-Paul Belmondo)
Last Tango In Paris (one of Brando's most interesting roles)
Belle du Jour (no French film list would be complete without including Catherine Deneuve, this one is directed by Louis Bunuel, who made many great surrealist films)
Finally, although it is set in Asia, the original Emmanuelle film starring Sylvia Kristel is one of my favorite erotic films of all time, with a great soundtrack as well
