I had such a French film moment yesterday. I was Audrey Tatou in my oversized coat and quirky hat. I’d been ordering the same cup of hot cocoa everyday for 3 weeks, at the same neighborhood cafe, from the same young guy, with the same odd cast of supporting players,  and we’d never had a conversation — well, we had spoken, but only small debates about whether I should add mini marshmallows or whipped cream to my cup.
Yesterday, we spoke.  Wrapped in my foreign film romantic daze I introduced myself, with the most impeccably beautiful lyrical French phrasing.  He paused, looked deep into my eyes and responded: “No Hablo Espanol.”
…Well, I almost had a French Film moment yesterday.

Foreign films of a similar ilk that you should try:
French title: Vénus beauté / English Title: Venus Beauty Institute
French title: Fauteuils d’orchestre / English Title: Avenue Montaigne
British, but awesome: The Girl in the Cafe
