Need French series/movies

by haxlex • 23 Aug 2013, 17:00 • Journals
Hi cf,

So I have been studying French for the past 2 years and I have reached a level that I'd call I'm ok, but here is the thing. My listening tests are really bad and by that I mean really bad. My motivation has dropped cause of that and I really feel like I need to get better an oral part of the language. So without further addon
I need some series/movies to watch, with or without subtitles.

You could watch Francois Truffaut's movies, they are a bit old fashioned but they talk a lot (not that fast, it's pretty clear iirc) and it's very witty so you would appreciate 'em as well. Can't think of anything else at the moment.

La Femme Nikita (1990)
Watch if you liked Léon. Jean Reno also has a minor role in this which is pretty awesome.

Le Professionel (1981)
Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, epic guy. With Soundtrack by Ennio Morricone.

Then there are a lot of good older french films.

Le Samouraï (1967)
A movie that has inspired many of the best directors out there, such as Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, the Coen Brothers and John Woo. It does not have much dialog though (maybe that's actually a good thing)

Then there are plenty of other good crime films that I've watched, Bob Le Flambeur (1956) & Le Cercle Rouge (1971) comes to mind.

Watch Joséphine ange gardien, no slang, lots of talks, and the main character is a midget!
