French New Wave Essentials

So many choices but "Vivre Sa Vie" is what I'd watch right now. Matter of fact, I think I will!

Bob Le Flambeur was zzzzzzz and I fuckin love Melville

I know Alphaville has friends here and I think Jules and Jim might make a good showing but I'll be surprised if Breathless doesn't take this. Voted Breathless.

My friend has decided to get me into Melville and Godard among others so I will be watching quite a few of these over the next few weeks.

Between Pierrot le fou and My Night at Maud's for me. It's sort of absurd but not at all surprising that Melville and Chabrol are on this list but Rivette is not.

Oh, I guess it's just a program rather than a list. Even so, why nothing from between '61 and '65?

oh that reminds me, he and i are gonna watch Celine Et Julie Vont En Bateau and this time NOT start it at 1 am and thus be rendered physically unable to keep our eyes open a mere 90 minutes in, despite its manifest amazingness

My gut reaction is to vote for My Night At Maud’s, but want to see Cleo From 5 To 7 before pulling the trigger.

no PARIS NOUS APPARTIENT, no tick (but wld pick VIVRE SA VIE from this list)

I could narrow it down to The 400 Blows, Cleo from 5 to 7 and Last Year in Marienbad, but no further beyond that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I love Cherbourg but don't particularly consider it nouelle vague!

moi aussi.

if you extend it to include demy, there are loads of more viable contenders missing like... can't remember names. kast, mocky. rivette.

I have to guess I ended up voting Marienbad.
