Hi all

Anyone used to watch these?

I adored them, films such as:

One deadly summer
Death in a French garden
He died with his eyes open
Pauline at the beach

    I remember watching those. The ones that stood out the most:

    Au Revoir les Enfants
    Savage Nights
    Diva
    The Accompanist
    Subway
    Police (with Gerard Depardieu)
    Vagabond
    The Horseman on the Roof
    Mina Tannenbaum
    Le Cop
    The Frog Prince (with Jane Snowden)

    The one with Charlotte Gainsbourg as a rebellious 13-year-old. Edit: An Impudent Girl.

    I had no idea how lucky we were with Channel 4 and BBC 2.

    Still my favourite French film. Years ago, I got a French colleague to pick up a French DVD of the Director's Cut version (no subtitles) as no DVD was available in the UK. The closing scene still has tears pissing from my eyes (and I'm sure it's not just the 2 bottles of wine that I've necked by then).
