They said at the beginning they were looking at Hollywood movies set in France. Unless I'm sorely mistaken, not every French film is a Hollywood production.
and is that supposed to be an excuse to let out all of the french cinema? there should have been at least one french film on this list, since, you know, they have a fucking awesome cinema industry.
How is "An American in Paris"(1951) not on the list? Winner of numerous Academy Awards including Best Picture, and one of the greatest Hollywood musicals of all time.

As far as missed movies are concerned, I loved the 90s version of Dangerous Liasons with Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Uma Thurman, Michel Pfeiffer, etc. That was epic.
I love "Les Mis"! Here are other honorable mentions: "Funny Face" with Audrey Hepburn, "Madeline", "The Longest Day", Best PIcture winner "An American in Paris", "The Lion in Winter", "Joan of Arc" with Ingrid Bergman, "The Aristocats", "Marie Antoinette", "The Count of Monte Cristo".
Damn i thought these would all be french movies. I thought that would be an interesting list. I always try to give watchmojo the benefit of the doubt but wtf is the point of this list?
First of all, "Hugo" is not set in the 1930s, but in the 1900s. And where are classic Hollywood movies like "Gigi", "An American in Paris", "Irma La Douce", the original "Moulin Rouge", "Lust for Life" etc...
Carol, The Shawshank Redemption, Rain Main, Heathers, The Avengers, Air Force One, Captain America: Winter Soldier, A Christmas Story, Eight Men Out, and The Soloist.

Too bad WM didn't discuss the plot of Les Miserables this time, they probably would've been dumb enough to say it's during the French Revolution again.
Agreed. If it wasn't for having French class for 3 years in high school, I would've thought the same thing. Now, I love more than just Paris. I really love the Chateaux of the Loire Valley. They're so beautiful. Plus, the literature as well. We read Voltaire's "Candide" and I love it to this day.
+darthstarkiller1912 un américains intelligents niv-100 un qui pensent pas que paris c'est la france la culture française et les français sa c'est la france mais pas une ville
You forgot The Longest Day. Sure it's a star studded 3 hour war film but it was set in France seeing how it chronicles the Normandie invasion from not only the perspective of the Allied army, but also from the German forces as well.
_"There's more about France beyond Paris"_ Not in Hollywood films which is what this list is about. I can only think of "To Catch a Thief" or "The French Connection" that are set in France but not in Paris.
Sorry, but you guys missed the mark here. The version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" you selected was... Disney's?! Try again, this time the black-and-white version with Charles Laughton's amazing performance. You picked the musical "Phantom of the Opera"? Nope... try Lon Chaney's silent classic. And if you missed out on "Is Paris Burning?", which you did, the list is woefully incomplete. This is the first WatchMojo list I've ever had serious disagreement with, though... usually you do pretty well.
+Mr. Mister no,it is not considered one of the best foreign movies and imdb is not a reliable source,since it is full of bias,fanboys and trolls,go look at any official list and you will not see that melodramatic movie there
+Kosta Jovanovic Only 9 weeks after it's release, it was the second most succesful french movie ever, Time said that it was the best french movie ever. The only foreign films that I think are close to it is "Life is beautiful" and "pan's lanyrinth". It is all opinions but it "the intouchables" is succesful for a reason.
I don't really see the point to make a video about films set in France and still not include French productions... It just feels like French cinematography was just unfit to reproduce its mother country or that French movies were globally bad anyway, so "why the hell should we even talk about it ? ". I do understand the fact that if all the French movies were considered, the top would be exclusively made of French cinema, but some variety ( a mix between French, Anglo Saxon - and other- cinema wouldn't have killed anyone and would have encouraged people to watch films where the French people aren't ruled by stupid clichés). It is just my opinion of course.
+Robert Horker I get your point but in France, Itlay, Germany (well, the European countries where we don't speak English) know their own movies but the English speaking ones too. I think the English speaking people could be more openminded on that point :) Sorry for my bad English
_"I don't really see the point to make a video about films set in France and still not include French productions"_ Are you guys that dumb? It's the exact opposite, if it included French films (the vast majority are bound to be set in France), it would defeat the whole point of the video don't you think? Jesus!
How ironic that none of these pictures won a best picture Oscar, but the three movies set in France that did didn't even make it as honorable mentions: "An American in Paris" (1951), "Gigi" (1958), and "The French Connection" (1971). WatchMojo, you need to do better than this.
How can you put last tango in Paris and inglorious basterds in your honorable list but put cartoons in your list??!!! These lists doesn't seem to be make by someone who gets movies. Every movie lovers knows that Last tango in Paris and inglorious basterds are masterpieces.
midnight in paris a movie you can watch over and over and never feel bored. im happy is number one i think phantom of the opera should be in the top ten and not and honorable mention
The John Frankenhiemer / Burt Lancaster 1964 Production of "The Train" gets my vote and did not even make your Honourable Mention list. It should also top the best railway themed list.
Jean Renoir did several films in Hollywood (in exile from Nazi Europe) in World War 2. The best one, dissecting Vichy France, is "This Land Is Mine", with Charles Laughton, George Sanders, Maureen O'Hara, and Walter Slezak.
Who's watching this without socks?
Me
me.
Lol
me
:O how did you know
you make me a list of films set in french dont include a french film, COME ON MAN
It's too easy man !
+Robert Horker No, they needed to be Hollywood movies.
There's actually another list of of the best French films check it out
They said at the beginning they were looking at Hollywood movies set in France. Unless I'm sorely mistaken, not every French film is a Hollywood production.
and is that supposed to be an excuse to let out all of the french cinema? there should have been at least one french film on this list, since, you know, they have a fucking awesome cinema industry.
How is "An American in Paris"(1951) not on the list? Winner of numerous Academy Awards including Best Picture, and one of the greatest Hollywood musicals of all time.
So this is really "Top Ten English Language Movies That Take Place in France"
ye
Did you expect anything more sophisticated from WM?
You didn't really listen to the beginning. Also, they already have a list of the best French Films.
That's what the title says.
It just says "Set in France"

Another tragic incident in France. Prayers for Nice. Stay strong.
#PrayforNice
Pray for France's weak stupid leaders . They need help and need to be overthrown , they're getting their people killed. .
I think that's the point of this video
I'm glad that The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Beauty and the Beast made it to this list.
YES MIDNIGHT IN PARIS IS MY ACTUAL FAVORITE MOVIE I was so upset if it wouldn't be on here. thank you watch mojo.
Where's Rugrats in Paris??
Not popular enough to be featured.
Not that good
How dare you not have Rugrats in Paris: The Movie!
Saving Private Ryan shouldve been at least 5
Yeah!
And here was I expecting actual French movies......
Mr. Bean's Holiday
?
That one's UK, I'm talking about 100% French movies
yes! They have the two best Disney movies set in France on this list I'm so happy.
As far as missed movies are concerned, I loved the 90s version of Dangerous Liasons with Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Uma Thurman, Michel Pfeiffer, etc. That was epic.
Ummm... Why is Inglorious Basterds only an honourable mention? *SIGH*
We're here to do one thing and one thing only, killing Nazi's!
Dude, where is intouchables
"Only hollywood movies"
+Demalleman Van der laan they said it in The description ( under The title)
+Demalleman Van der laan What the fuck do you mean?
+Olive Cinephile o lol
One of the best movie in this decade so far imo.
Fun fact: Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart will star in Hollywoods remake of Untouchable.
Why would you do a Hollywood only list?
Because they are americans ;)
+Tobias Schäffler *Canadian Bruh
+Ruairi Moore Canada is in america ;)
America is North and South. All of the west.
+Tobias Schäffler nope look at a fucking map kid
Can you do a list of the top 10 disaster movies (as in natural disasters such as storms, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.)?
Les Misérables easily should've been #1. But I could be biased but glad you included both of Hugo's greatest works
I love "Les Mis"!
Here are other honorable mentions: "Funny Face" with Audrey Hepburn, "Madeline", "The Longest Day", Best PIcture winner "An American in Paris", "The Lion in Winter", "Joan of Arc" with Ingrid Bergman, "The Aristocats", "Marie Antoinette", "The Count of Monte Cristo".
Damn i thought these would all be french movies. I thought that would be an interesting list. I always try to give watchmojo the benefit of the doubt but wtf is the point of this list?
Anyone else find it irritating when she puts on that accent?
Yes, it's very irritating. It's not just you.
I find her irritating period.
She doesn't even get it right.
Every time....
it's a canadian accent, not a french one
"Movies set in France" Yeah, why not ?
"french movies excluded" You're kidding me, right ?
top 10 movies set on earth
Okay I've never seen 'Midnight in Paris', but Les Mis is one of the best books and movies I've ever seen.... In my opinion should have been #1.
Premier means "first" in French
No "un" means one, "first" means premier
dumbass
actually, un means one in french, the word for first is premier
Jack 26001 Yeah that's what i said
Just fixed it.
Why must my life be filled with paris? DAMN YOU MIRACULOUS LADYBUG?!?!
I love how she pronounces some of the titles
I'm glad the Musketeers got a mention. Loved those as a kid ^.^
Is it me or was this video uploaded on the same day of the terror attacks?
Was thinking the same thing.
Because the attack happened the day of our national fest. The Bastille Day.
you forgot the "Count of Montacristo"
The Count of Monte Cristo should have been on this list.
First of all, "Hugo" is not set in the 1930s, but in the 1900s. And where are classic Hollywood movies like "Gigi", "An American in Paris", "Irma La Douce", the original "Moulin Rouge", "Lust for Life" etc...
"The Three Musketeers" has been shot on film more than any other classic literature storyline
The Hollywood project, set in France, that you forgot was Rugrats in Paris.
Paths of Glory should deserve an honourable mention in this
Pour nos amis américains :
Paris =/= la France
Venez visiter Montpellier. On a pas la tour Eiffel mais on a Rémi Gaillard !
Count of Monte Cristo! You're always forgetting Count of Monte Cristo! Come on, guys.
The model was also a really good English movie with a France setting
Most of the live feature movies in that list were not even shot in France ! Yet, strangely enough, most of Disney's THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE-DAME was .
You should have named this top "Top 10 Movies Set in PARIS". Seriously. (from a french person)
Top 10 Movies Filmed in Ohio

Carol, The Shawshank Redemption, Rain Main, Heathers, The Avengers, Air Force One, Captain America: Winter Soldier, A Christmas Story, Eight Men Out, and The Soloist.

Too bad WM didn't discuss the plot of Les Miserables this time, they probably would've been dumb enough to say it's during the French Revolution again.
The fact you released this video about France on July 14th isn't a coincidence, is it?
To our americans friends :
Paris =/= France
Let's visit Montpellier. We have not the Eiffel Tower but we have Rémi Gaillard !
Agreed. If it wasn't for having French class for 3 years in high school, I would've thought the same thing. Now, I love more than just Paris. I really love the Chateaux of the Loire Valley. They're so beautiful. Plus, the literature as well. We read Voltaire's "Candide" and I love it to this day.

Normandie is French for Normandy
+OC Beezilla
Why thank you grammar grandpa
All of these movies were made in the last twenty years. You left out Charade, GiGi, and the other Moulin Rouge with Jose' Ferrer.
You should do a top 10 worlds best magic tricks?!!!!!
Of all these movies, only one is not set in Paris. Come on, people. There's more about France beyond Paris.
+Robert Horker Yeah, Paris and only Paris! It's stupid.
+Robert Horker there Canadian which speaks English and FRENCH So they know France idiot
OC Beezilla Because they speak French they known France? Lol, so if you're from America you know the whole of England?
_"There's more about France beyond Paris"_
Not in Hollywood films which is what this list is about. I can only think of "To Catch a Thief" or "The French Connection" that are set in France but not in Paris.

And if you missed out on "Is Paris Burning?", which you did, the list is woefully incomplete. This is the first WatchMojo list I've ever had serious disagreement with, though... usually you do pretty well.
Vsauce should calculate how long until WatchMojo have run out of lists to do.
Yay hunchback of notre dame!!! Love! Way too underrated!
I can get that you didn't include movies that are actually french, but real quick...
Where's Count of Monte Cristo
Thanks for including animated movies
Cyrano de Bergerac (1950), The Pink Panther, Ronin... To name a few.
Honorable mentions include Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Aristocats.
Well you forgot "Funny Face" with Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn
I like SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and love RATATOUILLE!
Inglorious bastards definitely shouldve been more than an honorable mention
"The Les Mis movie did the stage adaptation justice" Nice lie there.
What ratatouille is almost 10 years old wow time flies.
No mention of Vincente Minnelli's classic AN AMERICAN IN PARIS...outrageous.
It's such a good one, too!
Is "Lust for Life" ineligible due to the part of Van Gogh's life in Holland and Belgium? If not, I think it belongs.
It is a crime not to have "the intouchables" on this list. The best movie I have ever seen.
+Robert Horker It is "Intouchables".
There are far batter movies that deserve the place on the list instead of the intouchables
+Kosta Jovanovic Not really. Intouchables is seem as the best foreign movie ever and is rated 37 in IMDb's "best movies of all time".
+Mr. Mister no,it is not considered one of the best foreign movies and imdb is not a reliable source,since it is full of bias,fanboys and trolls,go look at any official list and you will not see that melodramatic movie there

The beginning and in between scenes it is, but set in both France and New York.
There's a special place in my movie lexicon for An American Werewolf in Paris.
How can you put last tango in Paris and inglorious basterds in your honorable list but put cartoons in your list??!!! These lists doesn't seem to be make by someone who gets movies. Every movie lovers knows that Last tango in Paris and inglorious basterds are masterpieces.
Almost all of the movies on the list are set in Paris, not in France
What about Count of Monte Cristo?
You forgot 'Don't Lose Your Head'! Oh, WatchMojo, how could you?
uploaded 3 minutes ago and I already hate it
what about the count of monte cristo or chocolat!?
midnight in paris
a movie you can watch over and over and never feel bored.
im happy is number one
i think phantom of the opera should be in the top ten and not and honorable mention
You forgot Taken and The man in the iron mask...
What! Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure didn’t even get honorable mention
Where's "The Man in the Iron Mask" at?
The John Frankenhiemer / Burt Lancaster 1964 Production of "The Train" gets my vote and did not even make your Honourable Mention list. It should also top the best railway themed list.
