Not a bad film on that list (although I haven't seen Tsotsi).
Best title IMO would be Jean De Florette and Manon Des Sources ...but have
to go together!
My next favourite would be A Very Long Engagement. Excellent film ...if a
little confusing to a non-French audience who don't recognise each of the
different people (it gets a bit confusing).
