well if you like Jean de florette than you need to see the second part "Manon des Sources"...when the little girl comes back to the house after she realised that all was aplot to buy her dad's property.

As a modern movie I recomend "the girl on the bridge" with Daniel Auteuil (also in jean de Florette) and Vanessa Paradis. Is a magic love story in a beautiful black and white.

"Elode de l'amour" by jean Luc Goddard is a little masterpiece made a pouple years a go.

I also loved " Aurrevoir les enfants" by Louis malle. (exellent)

If you want italian try "the bicycle thief" by Vittorio de Sica" a true master piece as classic cinema (but this one is a very well made drama about the post war in south Italy". On a more modern film maybe anything with Roberto begnini (he will make you laugh so much you will cry!!)

And I have to mention Ingmar Bergman...anything by him is a true gem. pure and simple...there are many more but I am not too keen on lists, cos for a list there are plenty everywhere!

Good luck and comment on them or anyother you have seen
