I haven't seen any Clouzot, either, but his movies hang out towards the middle of my Netflix queue.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Thanks for the Netflix advice, everyone! I just took care of it. Strange thing is that I remember sealing the envelope up while standing in front of the mailbox here at work, but I don't remember dropping it into the box. I hope I mailed it, and didn't accidentally drop it into the garbage or somewhere else in a post-Labor-Day haze. Sad thing is that it's part of a multi-disk set (Disk 1 of Doctor Who), so it'll cost them more to replace it if it doesn't show up.

The French director I haven't seen anything by, and seriously need to rectify that situation about, is Melville.
I'd second both of the movies David mentioned.

Being French, they're probably smoking cigarettes and making rude comments to the discs that pass them on the way up the queue.

It must be galling that so many of those that by-pass them are by their countrymen.

Bob le Flambeur is very enjoyable. Le Samourai is colder and more severe, but beautiful in its way and a fascinating late noir.
Le Cercle rouge (also with Delon) is quite good as well.

I'd say it's actually gauling.

As long as it's not de Gaulling.
