viva la France on film I can get 50 for
them in Paris welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 movies set in France how
is your farm for this list we’re looking
at Hollywood movies that take place in
France we oh we know the whole of France
is looking for you we have not included
French productions like comedy but have
instead focused on more mainstream
cinema I would love to go to the Opera
in car number 10 The Bourne Identity
what better place to re remember your
memories than off sauce even if those
memories are really rather scary I can’t
remember anything that happened before
two weeks ago a must-have for all action
movie heads the Bourne Identity is the
first film with in an early 21st century
franchise that took the world by serious
storm starring Matt Damon as the title
character Jason Bourne it’s one man’s
quest to regain his identity and a quest
largely carried out in Paris I got a
lead in Paris
the rest were Marseille jalan Saxon
that’s what apparently even top-level
espionage has a little room for romance
number nine Willa who’s a movie so
spectacular it needs an exclamation mark
in its title my name is angela marie
raymond toulouse-lautrec Oh Willa whose
was the first musical to be Oscar
nominated for Best Picture in 10 years
since Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and
with good reason
a kaleidoscopic nicely frantic
representation of the theater scene in
the mole mouths quarter of Paris this
movie is all singing all dancing and all
of a lot of other things as well mm-hmm
does that inspire you and McGregor and
Nicole Kidman star Baz Luhrmann directly
the movie in general breathes life into
life itself
number eight The Hunchback of nuts Adam
only in Paris the city awakes to the
belt no through da the first of two
Victor Hugo adaptations to make today’s
countdown the Hunchback of nuts Adam is
also the 34th film to feature within the
Walt Disney Animated Classics list
ladies and gentlemen don’t panic we
asked for the ugliest place in Paris and
here he is
detailing a struggle for acceptance
within Parisian society
the tale of deformed nuts Adam
bellringer Quasimodo is brought to life
in all its gothic glory look I
appreciate what you’re all trying to do
but let’s not fool ourselves ugliest
face in all Paris remember
I don’t think I’m her type the
hunchbacks the main event at the opening
festival of fools but we’re all hoping
he can turn things around by the movies
final curtain Paris the city of lovers
is glowing this evening
number seven Saving Private Ryan I need
someone who speaks French and German
some of the most important events in all
of history played themselves out in
France but few were more significant
than the Second World War
it’s fitting therefore that few movie
moments are more powerful than the 27
minute opening sequence of Steven
Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan which is
considered one of the iconic scenes in
all of cinema
the film’s d-day omaha beach landings
are brutally true-to-life
providing backdrop to a quest that takes
place in the French countryside albeit a
severely war-torn version of it
you got takes aim low to take ballon
Malone you got share burke share board
you got paris – you got Berlin number 6
ratatouille
Harris
all this time I’ve been underneath eros
we advanced back into animated areas
next to a Pixar film that has us
reconsidering previously held notions of
pesky rodents ratatouille is the story
of a rat named Remy who loves the
kitchen but not in the way one might
expect you’re in Paris now baby my town
rather than scavenging for food this
little feller is serving it up and he’s
doing so to an exceptional standard of
course restaurants and rats don’t really
mix and therein lies the problem
do you know what would happen to us if
anyone knew we are the last in our
kitchen hey close us down but the French
and good food do mix and the whole lot
combined makes for a five-star movie we
can be the greatest restaurant in Paris
and this rat this brilliant little chef
can lead us there number five Hugo Hugo
Higa cabaret we’re 3d at five as Martin
Scorsese delivers the delightful tale of
Hugo a Parisian orphan you go without me
you’d be in the orphanage the title
character is the last in line of a
family of clock makers and repairers bad
luck has blighted his twelve short years
however meaning he must now ply his
trade in secret within the hidden
passageways of the gamma Palmas railway
station yes it’s making another orphan
what follows is a story encapsulating
the romance and tragedy of 1930s friends
doing so with an attention to detail
that’s second to none
thank you gentlemen first positions
track first positions action number for
Beauty and the Beast Middletown
it’s a quiet village every day like the
one before Disney’s Renaissance during
the early 90s might not have been
anywhere near as all-conquering were it
not for our next film set in France
thank you
if the Little Mermaid hadn’t done it
already Beauty and the Beast well and
truly renounced the animation studio
back into the cinematic big leagues she
don’t never see me as anything a pop
star
a love story shared between two unlikely
Souls and set to an incomparable
soundtrack it was the first animated
movie ever to receive an Oscar
nomination for Best Picture that’s how
good it is number three before sunset I
can’t believe you’re here why I live
here in Paris Paris is well known as the
city of love and our third-placed
picture is the very definition of
whirlwind romance I just loved it to see
a little bit more in Paris what you walk
right yeah yeah no no that’s great the
sequel to before sunrise it details a
chance meeting between two people who
had shared a passionate night in Vienna
during the first film you come here to
Paris all romantic and married played
out in real time before sunset is
essentially a one hour 20 minute
conversation between the couple but with
incredible intensity and emotion so it’s
not even about you anymore it’s about
that time that moment in time that is
forever gone I don’t know
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy deserved all
the critical acclaim they got
post-production yeah what was I supposed
to say that I remember the wine in the
park and us looking about the stars
fading away as the Sun came up number
two
name is a rod from Paris he’s here it
had seemed an impossible feat
translating this epic novel and stage
musical into film while doing it justice
at the same time the people of Paris
sleep in their page you have no
cause no chance at all but director Tom
Hooper and the rest of the team behind
the 2012 reworking of Lamesa God
certainly pulled it off 10 francs may
save my poor Cosette with an a-list cast
including Anne Hathaway Amanda Seyfried
Hugh Jackman and Eddie Redmayne Jean
Valjean story is shot to perfection it’s
a tragic heroic beautiful brutal
inspiring adventure that’s well worth
setting aside 158 minutes of your time
for
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
we let them mask my first unfeeling
scrub up glow but here it’s corn syrup
caffeine and water and a cool label
that’s all it is
number one Midnight in Paris I love it
of all the defining eras within Parisian
history the city’s hosting of art and
literature’s lost generation in the
1920s has to be one of the most colorful
if I was to tell you that I spent last
night with Ernest Hemingway and scott
Fitzgerald what would you say and it is
to that era that we are lovingly
transported with our winning film from
Mila Belle Epoque Val would’ve been
perfect directed by Woody Allen and
starring Owen Wilson Midnight in Paris
is one writers nostalgia brought to life
born in Paris I was born in Bothell I
moved here to study fashion Fitzgerald
Hemingway Picasso and Stein are all in
attendance among many others for this
mosaic of modernism that leaves us as
captivated as its main character I can’t
tell you how excited I am this give me
such a lift that my heart is just racing
right now do you agree with our list I
guess so
which film said in France did we forget
why should I believe you
