[Simon_Lepine]

Since I'm bored today and at work, I compiled all the top 10 lists so far. (in Arman's case, I took Contempt as the 10th film, feel free to change that if you care).

Here are all the movies that got more than 2 votes:

1. Children of Paradise7
2. Beauty and the Beast5
3. Grand Illusion4
The 400 Blows4
L’Atalante4
6. Breathless3
The Passion of Joan of Arc3
Belle de jour3
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie3
Rules of the Game3
Amelie3
Diaboliques3
La Femme Nikita 3
14.Orpheus2
Claire's Knee2
Stolen Kisses2
Mon Oncle2
Vagabond2
Jules et Jim2
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg2
Le Samourai2
Wages of Fear 2

As usual most of my list doesn't show up. Children of Paradise is a very solid choice for #1.

I've seen all but Orpheus and Le Samourai.

Simon, I just realized that I actually forgot to include Renoir and his Grand Illusion (which is my most favorite among Renoir's masterworks, yeah, it is even ahead of Rules of The Game) in that bunch of films in my #10. So if I have to pick only 1 #10, it's Grand Illusion (and that means my #1 thru #5, #7 and #10 or 7 of my Top 10 received multiple votes )

Wow! It is a good looking list (of our favorites which were voted at least 2 times). I'm also very glad to see Children of Paradise leading as our top favorite French film.

Note: I realized just now that The Passion of Joan of Arc is actually French. Hmmm (I also ignored The Three Colors Trilogy?), I think my list needs an update again.
