Grand Illusion
Joan of Arc

 

[george kaplan]

My last shot.

The far superior, Mr. Hulot's Holiday

 

[Brook K]

Le Trou
The Passion of Joan of Arc

Again, when I see A Very Long Engagement, it better be freakin good with the movies it has knocked out of this tournament.

 

[Lew Crippen]

Grand Illusion

The Passion of Joan of Arc--disagreeing with both Brook and George--not an easy task.

 

[Rich Malloy]

Grande Illusion

Joan of Arc (so hard to to make this call, as "Hulot's Holiday" was the film that turned me onto the joys of cinema francais)

 

[Bill McA]

abstain - haven't watched my Le Trou yet
The Passion of Joan of Arc

 

[SteveGon]

My votes: Le Trou and The Passion of Joan of Arc.

Grand Illusion and The Passion of Joan of Arc advance.


Round 3 - Bracket 7

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg vs. Jules and Jim


Round 3 - Bracket 8

Port of Shadows vs. The Rules of the Game

 

[george kaplan]

Well, it's been fun, I guess, watching all the great French films go down in flames. :frowning:

I guess I'll vote one last time. While I don't really think Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a great movie, it's far, far, better than the vastly overrated Jules & Jim.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
