10 of the Coolest French Crime Thrillers of All Time (Collider)
"There have been great crime movies made within most film industries around the world, but few countries have put out as many great ones as France. This was especially notable throughout the 1950s and 1960s, partly due to the French New Wave movement being in full swing. Crime films became cooler, more stylish, darker, and more thrilling. That being said, not all of the following 10 films can be classified as French New Wave films, and some were released outside of the 1950s/1960s, too. All manage to be effortlessly stylish, gripping, and unpredictable films, though, and for fans of French cinema, gangster movies, crime films, or even just thrillers in general, all are more than worthy of your attention." - collider.com
