Not necessarily a classic, but I recently saw the comedy "Apres Vous", very funny.

I think the only French film I have seen is "Basai Moi", or something like that.

Taxi
Taxi 2
 
But Taxi 3 is a POS and human abomination. WTF did they chose Chinese Santa Claus Gang as enemy? Why don't they choose Americans as bad guys in the movie? It would be fun to watch Sylvester Stallone dring a Ford Mustang chasing that white Peugeot taxi. They really f_cked up that movie.

Le Grand Bleu was an outstandingly beautiful movie, and I second GoG's motion to include it in the French top 5. My own household is voting for "Les Choristes" by Christophe Barratier, as our family's favorite, by a wide margin. I also liked very much the exceedingly retarded "rrrrr" by Alain Chabat, but then it's only me, and it can be ascribed to my love for the French and Belgian comix of the Seventies.
Old movies: all of Marcel Pagnol's pre-war work (Caution: black and white, but nevertheless a serious sunstroke risk. Almost as good as the Italian realists, but a lot more poetic). Where would we be today if the only non-Parisian pole of creativity had not disappeared?

I saw LE GRAND BLEU when i was in my late 20s. Someone told me that you are never the same after seeing that film. I thought that was a bit cliche... but it turned out to be true. Right from the first frames in black and white, under the sea in Greece, you realize that this is a film unlike any other.

it's "Baise moi" ...Baiser, originally,  means to kiss ...but that turned to bad slang , and Baise moi means Fuck me.
It's an ugly movie with no interest , h*tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baise-moi
I've thrown away the dvd  after having seeing it ( the only time i did it with a movie)
If this is the only french movie you saw ...what a pity for you.!

I would add the movie Farinelli. Not for the script but for the music and the very well presented baroc era.
