I think I'll have to say The Last Metro. I love the story and it's one of the best looking films I've ever seen with gorgeous cinematography by Néstor Almendros. Those who saw Inglourious Basterds and liked the setting should check out this film. Catherine Deneuve plays an actress trying to keep her theatre company alive during the Nazi occupation of Paris. The French New Wave is not for everyone, I guess, but both Breathless (directed by Jean-Luc Godard) and Jules and Jim are a must see for anyone interested in cinema history. What these guys did with their light-weight cameras and innovative narratives paved the way for the young American filmmakers of the 60s and 70s that we all love and admire.

Truly one of the greatest lovers of film there ever was. He knew things. I still sometimes read "The Films in My Life" at night for the sheer intelligence he shared about films most people have no idea exist. I still miss him.

The 400 Blows will always be my favorite, but I have a spot in my heart for The Soft Skin. Thanks for the video. It was interesting to see Truffaut and Polanski talk about Hitchcock.
