| Title | French Film suggestions for class |
| Body | The following query was posted to FLTEACH: I need to choose a French film that would appeal to a wide audience of both French students and others. It will be in a school setting so it must be rather "clean". I have come up with some possibilities and wondered if anyone could advise and/or suggest other possiblities. Here are my choices: Babette's Feast, Manon of the Spring, Jean de la Florette, Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe, Small Change, The Dinner Game, My Mother's Castle, My Father's Glory, Au revoir les enfants, La belle et la bête (Cocteau), Le dernier metro, The 400 Blows. If anyone has any additional suggestions, please let me know. I don't want something too "dated" yet some of the classics do have wide appeal. Orlando, J. Re: French Films. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (15 Sep. 2004). Response #1: I would go for Tall Blonde Man with one Black Shoe. I have seen it several times and I always love it. It is one of the funniest films I have seen in the movie world. And believe it or not, it is very educative. Of course, you need to watch it first and see what is interesting for further debate with the students, and give them a questionnaire for debate. Lopez, M. Re: French Films.

It is simply charming and beautiful, and lasts only 34 minutes. Pontius, J. Re: French Films. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (16 Sep. 2004). Response #3: There's always Louis de Funes' "La Folie des Grandeurs" That had my non- French speaking vuewers rolling in the aisles.... Horn, L. Re: French Films. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (16 Sep. 2004). Response #4: "Etre et Avoir" is out on DVD and is very charming and sweet, definitely PG. Blye, C.
