Great list Sir! I do agree with your Christmas, almost. I really enjoy 'Eyes Wide Shut' tho Great movie. But is it a Christmas movie?
Just have to ask. Never thought of it as a Christmas movie i guess
Keep it up!

I really enjoy 'Eyes Wide Shut' tho Great movie. But is it a Christmas movie?

Of course, Christmas is not the subject of this movie, but the action takes place just before Christmas, and the last scene is in a toy store where the little girl is looking for her gifts.

In fact,  many movies I listed here have scenes during Christmas, but without being the main subject (Batman, Die Hard, While You Were Sleeping, 8 Femmes...)

"Love Actually" ... what a fun movie.  Yep ... "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie .. i believe John McClane even writes HO HO HO on one of the bodies ... very festive

Looks like I have som more Belmondo movies to check out. I was surprised to find that I don't own Borsalino. I think I have seen it a long time ago, though. I have Le Magnifique, L'Homme de Rio, and now also Le Marginal, although I haven't watched it yet.

I have some other Belmondo titles as well, the best of those is Le Professionnel. Any thoughts on that one, Yves?

Belmondo, like John Wayne or Louis De Funès, played very similar roles in many of his movies, with a specific style. So, you (generic) like most of his movies or quite none. Le Professionnel is also a typical Belmondo movie, and I like it. It could have been in my list, it was just difficult to choose between similar movies.

That's true. The most atypical Belmondo movie I own would probably be Is Paris Burning?

By the way, did De Funès every do any serious roles? The closest to that in my collection I guess would be the Fantômas movies, since they are not outright comedies, but he still plays his typical comic role.

I agree. This movie is excellent, with many great actors, but no main character.  So I would not list this film in a per actor list.

By the way, did De Funès every do any serious roles?

The only I can mention is "La Traversée de Paris"...
