What's his best movie?
Best performance?
>>70020658
Mission Impossible
the one where he played the french character
>>70020692
Which one was that?
>>70020658
Pink Panther
>>70020658
Godzilla
>>70020732
He and the Simpsons actors made that movie watchable.
>>70020692
Ronin.
>>70020658
Leon the professional
>>70020732
>>70020815
God-Tier Reneau
>>70020658
Operation Corned-beef
he's a spaniard who made a career out of playing a frenchman
>>70020732
>>70020815
>>70020804
I'd say theseand Onimusha 3
>>70020882
>he's a spaniard
Learn something new everyday
>>70020804
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
>>70020658
are we deliberatly not saying leon?
>>70020658
Probably Le Dernier Combat.
>>70021021
Yes but the faggot before you broke it.
Nikita
>>70021106
It's funny he's basicly playing "Evil Leon" in this movie
The one where he is a DGSE operative
comedy gold right here
>>70021205
Tais-Toi is his best comedy along with based Depardieu.
>>70021132
It's the exact reason why Besson made Leon with Reno.
>>70021297
Reno always was Besson's go-to guy. Like MacLachlan is for Lynch.
>>70020692
Was Leon southern French or Northern Italian?
>>70021361
>southern French
They're calling him "the little frenchy" during the movie
>>70020658
Nikita
>>70021359
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)
>>70021529
retarded film at the end the main character becomes a dolphin
>>70021205
this is really his best comedy. tais-toi is uninspired, weber's previous movies (la chèvre, les compères...) were far, far better
>>70021558
Well, the real Jacques Mayol did suicide, just later in his life.
>>70021674
>tais-toi is uninspired
shut up
>>70021715
it's true but you're too young to have known Weber's good movies
Rollerball.
Rollerball.
>>70021742
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.
>>70021789
both are great
>>70022023
Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire
Le Jouet
>>70022050
yep. true kino
>>70022125
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.
>>70022348
>that comedy with Depardeu playing a retard
It's Tais-Toi (and Depardieu is the retard)
>>70020692
Funny thing is he's not even French. He's Spanish (real name Juan Moreno Herrera-Jiménez) and grew up in Morocco
>>70022338
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.
>>70022622
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.
>>70022881
Delon is a fucking hack, he based his carrer only on his natural charisma, he doesn't even act
>>70022881
I don't like Audiard, his dialogues feel forced.
>>70023196
I agree he's not a great actor.
The Visitors
>>70020658
noobs.
also onimusha 3
>>70024229
>>70023196
> ITT: people who don't watch movies they criticize
>>70020658
Onimusha 3
>>70020848
>>70020815
>>70020732
The Professional is best movie, but Godzilla is best performance, easily.
>Impersonate an American
>DOES AN ELVIS IMPRESSION
>>70024902
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.
>>70020967
He's from Morocco.
>>70020780
This. famille
Wasabi.
>>70020732
Roger that.
>>70024396

JUST Visiting.
>>70022338
Garde à vue was fucking great, glad to see it mentioned for once.
