Friede and I decided to do a few polls of movies from some of our favorite directors. there will be a lot none-American directors among them. I will start with François Truffaut. the movie titles are given in English translation. if you don't know all movies vote for the best you know -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Great idea for this series of polls I won't answer now, because I need to see the movie title in French - though I can guess them more or less, since you posted them +/- chronologically

| Very difficult to choose just one. I went with Fahrenheit 451 for many reasons, but I would have liked to have included The Man Who Loved Women. |

I gave the English titles because the English language is the common
denominator here. but here are the French titles in the same order: Les Quatre Cents Coups Tirez sur le pianiste Jules et Jim La Peau douce Fahrenheit 451 La Mariée était en noir Baisers volés La sirène du Mississipi L'Enfant sauvage Domicile conjugal Les Deux anglaises et le continent Une belle fille comme moi La Nuit américaine L'Histoire d'Adèle H. L'Argent de poche L'Homme qui aimait les femmes La Chambre verte L'Amour en fuite Le Dernier métro La Femme d'à côté Vivement dimanche! ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

My vote would go to "Une belle fille comme moi" (Such a Gorgeous Kid like
Me). Probably a strange choice, but I have a special thing
for this movie. Unfortunately I can't vote anymore since Jean and I share the same IP-address. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

400 Blows, which I saw as a kid for the first time and felt a strong sympathy for the misfortunate child character. Just thinking of the final sequence on the desolate shore (backed by music I remember well) gives me goosebumps. PS. Fahrenheit 451 - the novel by RAY BRADBURY - had been my dearest book since the age of 13 or so, long before I finally saw the movie. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations... |

Since Jean allowed multiple votes I can vote too now. I voted for "Fahrenheit 451", "La Mariée était en noir" and "Une belle fille comme moi". ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

It's stull a very difficult choice, but on the whole, I rather found Truffaut boring in his later years I italized the ones I like least and bolded the ones I like best , underlined those I saw Of his two 70's fetish actors, I don't like JP Léaud, but I really like Charles Denner... Untimately l'Homme Quii Aimait les Femmes ,while not his best, is probably the one best fondly remembered by the French public

I've only seen The 400 Blows and Jules & Jim so far. If I had to vote now though I'd vote for The 400 Blows. |

| The scene in Day for Night where they try to persuade the cat to walk across the screen earns it my vote. I can't even think of it without laughing. |

The funniest movie by Truffaut is "Such a Gorgeous Kid Like Me". After seeing that movie I can't hear the sound of a racing car without grinning anymore. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favourite adaptations of a novel I like. I adore the film. The Bride Wore Black, The 400 Blows and Jules et Jim are other particular favourites. I haven't seen most of these. Of the Cahiers du Cinema group, I think Godard was my favourite over all. Well known factoid, Truffaut was the Frenchman in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. |
