Best French War Films - Films de Guerre

that's the one from post 16 , I love that one too

 

I want to see female agents, any good skip..

 

Female agents is quite good Ray and the girls are hot. It's a good action film too and historically quite accurate even though some typical "Holywoodian" inspired slips make some of the actions quite hypothetical.

 

OK, it's only 50% French, but I love 'The Train' which also has that 'French movie' atmosphere....

 

thanks skip, that's a must film then, cheers...

 

agree martin, a classic. and as you say! very atmospheric, I prefer the WWII B/W movies, it does give a real sense of the period...

 

I just watched 'Les Morfalous' again - I have to say the special effects and most of the realism are terrible, but if you forgive Kelly's Heroes for that too, I still think it needs to be on the list, it's a good fun film. No history value at all though, except perhaps a sense of how the French saw their part in ww2 by the eighties. Still great fun

 

The Morphalous is mostly for entertainment and humor, and has no pretention on historical accuracy, it's a fun film if you want to spend a ice evening and if you take it as such you'll like it.

 

Since you liked this I would also higly recommend "Un taxi pour Tobrouk"

 

You know - I actually noticed the '57 Willys more than the AMX, because I had one a while back - it's so easy to get distracted eh?

And I intend to see taxi 2 t asap, thanks.

Also for Sniper - I just got 'female agents' and from a flick through it looks as good as it sounds - will report back soon

 

or another one with Belmondo about hte 1936 Belrin Olymplics. "L'as des As"

check out Hilter during WWI and in the 30s!

 

or another humoristic classic about the Battle of France "Où es passé la septième compagnie"

 

I've seen Indigenes. Thought it was a good movie.

 

Just watched Female Agents.

Fabulous film. (only criticism at all was that they managed to show the VE celebrations including 2 people waving upside down union flags - but that's just nitpicking )

Definite 'must watch'.

 

I will watch it again just for the flag. Glad you liked it.

 

just arrived by post..my dvd of female agents..lI'm ooking forward to the afternoon to watching it...

 

you're off for a treat Ray, I hope you'll enjoy it and have a good time watching it

 

thanks skip, I'd been meaning to get the film way back, and completely forgot it.. now to enjoy ...

 

So, Ray I allowed you time to watch it. Give us your impressions please.

 

Thoroughly enoyed it. I'm not onef or brutallity, and especially when it comes to women, but the film sets the tone, and the times, so it's all part of what took place then. and how..well done to ladies who prtayed them...and you know some are'ntgoin to make it back..which is sad..but recommend it? I do, as too ! "army of crime"..another brilliant french film....
