What's his best movie?

What's his best movie?
Best performance?

Mission Impossible

the one where he played the french character

Which one was that?

Pink Panther

Godzilla

He and the Simpsons actors made that movie watchable.

Ronin.

...

Leon the professional

God-Tier Reneau

Operation Corned-beef

he's a spaniard who made a career out of playing a frenchman

I'd say these and Onimusha 3

>he's a spaniard
Learn something new everyday

For a burger, I would point that one.

He made good comedies but they are too french for burgers to get it (like Tais-Toi)

Also Leon is great of course but don't forget the others movies with the same director: Nikita, Subway and of course Le Grand Bleu

are we deliberatly not saying leon?

Probably Le Dernier Combat.

Yes but the faggot before you broke it.

Nikita

It's funny he's basicly playing "Evil Leon" in this movie

The one where he is a DGSE operative
comedy gold right here

Tais-Toi is his best comedy along with based Depardieu.

It's the exact reason why Besson made Leon with Reno.

Reno always was Besson's go-to guy. Like MacLachlan is for Lynch.

Was Leon southern French or Northern Italian?

>southern French
They're calling him "the little frenchy" during the movie

Nikita

Yeah, kinda. But his character in Lakita is what inspired Besson to write and make Leon.

If you like Reno and Besson, you have to watch Le Grand Bleu.

It aged a bit and Reno isn't the first role but this (long) movie is really different, talking about something unusual but deep (ahah), sometimes hilarious, sometimes awfully sad, it's a great movie of its time.

Of course nowadays nobody would dare have a pacing so slow and a female first role so bland (maybe to reinforce the bromance though)

retarded film at the end the main character becomes a dolphin

this is really his best comedy. tais-toi is uninspired, weber's previous movies (la chèvre, les compères...) were far, far better

Well, the real Jacques Mayol did suicide, just later in his life.

>tais-toi is uninspired
shut up

it's true but you're too young to have known Weber's good movies

Rollerball.
Rollerball.

I've seen all of them.

I dislike La Chèvre because they always go to that one about Pierre Richard while there's much much better movies with him.

A gauche en sortant de l'ascenceur. Man that was great comedy.

both are great

Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire
Le Jouet

yep. true kino

Stop memeing, this is just great comedy and there's even much better if you go further in time.

But if you want earth-shattering french movies, you have to look elsewhere.

On the top of my head, i'd say:
Le Samourai
Le Président
Garde à vue
A bout de souffle

No love for Ronin? He was pretty good there. And also that comedy with Depardeu playing a retard. Or it was the other way around.

>that comedy with Depardeu playing a retard
It's Tais-Toi (and Depardieu is the retard)

Funny thing is he's not even French. He's Spanish (real name Juan Moreno Herrera-Jiménez) and grew up in Morocco

i've seen none of them, I have to watch at least le samourai, but usually i can't stand gabin, delon, ventura... for me the best french cinema is comedies. I loved le vieux fusil and le salaire de la peur though.

Le Samouraï is pretty much what Delon is famous for. You like it or you don't but you can't deny it's extreme quality.

Le Président is a Gabin but very modern and still very on point. Blier is also great. The story is very political, dignity versus sharks.

Garde à Vue is a wonderful huit-clos with Ventura against Serrault. Dialogues by Audiard but this time extremely serious, it doesn't get any better in this genre. Burgers did a remake named Suspicion.

A Bout de souffle is the flagship of Godard's Nouvelle Vague. It's hard to explain. It started Belmondo career.

Delon is a fucking hack, he based his carrer only on his natural charisma, he doesn't even act

I don't like Audiard, his dialogues feel forced.

I agree he's not a great actor.

The Visitors

noobs.

also onimusha 3

> ITT: people who don't watch movies they criticize

Onimusha 3

The Professional is best movie, but Godzilla is best performance, easily.
>Impersonate an American
>DOES AN ELVIS IMPRESSION

Watching the making of featurettes and reading him talk about playing a detective who is a reborn samurai with the soul of an ogre is one of lives great pleasures.

He's from Morocco.

This. famille

Wasabi.

...

Roger that.

JUST Visiting.

Garde à vue was fucking great, glad to see it mentioned for once.
