Le Roi Et L’oiseau
Viewers will be captivated from beginning to end by the many hilarious moments and adorable characters in this French fairytale. The lessons that are taught can also help newer learners grasp basic grammar knowledge in a fun way.
Though it might seem a little funny on first impressions, this classic animation makes excellent use of physical comedy to tell its story. Expect an evil king with fantastic creatures and witty dialogue in both languages if you opt for the French movie “Le Roi des cerfs” (The King Of Deer.)
Amelie
Amélie is a great movie that follows the story of an imaginative girl living in Paris. She wants to bring happiness into everyone’s lives and does so by simply being herself with her vivid imagination-a very endearing quality indeed.
The characters constantly try to outdo one another by coming up with witty responses in this French movie. They also have a lot of fun, but there is always sadness behind their laughter because everyone in Paris has something going for them, except maybe Meursault (the main character.) Since he doesn’t socialize much at all when you’re not on trial or being executed.
Persepolis
It is a French film with an exciting twist. Based on the widely celebrated graphic novel of that same name, Persepolis tells the story of Marjane Satrapi and her experiences growing up in Iran during its Islamic Revolution. It is both as seen through animation visuals that are slow-paced yet thoughtful; dialogue mirrors this style so you can understand more easily without feeling overwhelmed by it all. It may not be everyone’s cup o’ tea, but there has been a significant buzz among critics about how beautifully done ‘Persepolis’ was.
Le Dîner De Cons
The French movie “Delivery Man” is about a group of friends who set out to find the most demanding guy they can, and it has some funny moments. The plot doesn’t have anything complicated that would make it difficult for more advanced speakers, but there are pretty challenging words in this dialogue, so even these people will struggle with its meaning.
Le Père Noël Est Une Ordure
This French film is a Christmas classic, telling the story of two volunteers working at their suicide hotline during this festive period. It has been said to have one-liners that are so witty they’ll make your jaw drop open. Look no further because we’ve got everything here just waiting for you if you’re looking for an advanced lesson in learning phrases from these scenes and using them as conversation starters with friends or family abroad.
