Why did I see the words "Purple Noon" and think I was seeing "Purple Rain"? Although, that would be a good movie to see with French dubbing.
Can anyone translate "Darling Nikki" into French?
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

So, she was just kissing that magazine in French?

Note: "niquer" also means "to fuck". Interesting.

This thread makes me feel so ignorant.

second that emotion, bunky. But I console myself that that is how we learn. Sometimes.

But, see, I have, at my feet, a copy of 'The Dark' and a real inviting blanket. And I'll probably pick the simpler pleasure. And a fresh dose of mild self-loathing.

Ah, *mild* self-loathing. Amateur. I've only seen a few foreign films that weren't Aussie or English, though. But there have been some...I guess I'm finally learning to cope with posting with people smarter than I am.

I've only seen a few foreign movies, and none of the French classics talked about upthread. I've been meaning to see The Bicycle Thief (Italian postwar movie), as well as 400 Blows, which I've heard is just gutwrenching. My favorite foreign movie has to be M, though--Peter Lorre is mesmerizing as the serial child killer.

I can't even excel at that. I'm off to hang out at Aint It Cool.
I have seen, say, The 400 Blows and Band of Outsiders and stuff but my favourite Chabrol? Yeah, no.
