Movies:
I am really bad at remembering them but the best film I have ever seen is Vivre Sa Vie. I really liked Magnolia, Barbarian Invasions. I'll add to this when I think of more. So I thought of more Nathalie and The Pianist (the sound track is amazing), Lemming, L'enfer, The Dreamers, Inside Paris.
