How would you rank his movies?
I Wouldn't really. I feel that Breathless and Band of Outsiders are very good, Pierrot le Fou is a Masterpiece, and I HATE Weekend. Everything else kind of just falls in between.
Do you own any of his films?
I own the 5 Criterion Blu-rays:
Breathless
Band of Outsiders
Pierrot le Fou
Vivre Sa Vie
Weekend
although through HULU Plus and Netflix I have seen a lot of the others.
Is he the best French Director?
No. Personally I like Truffaut the best. I also really like Clouzot. I also think Clement, Bresson, and Cocteau were better. Don't get me wrong Godard is very good, I just feel his early catalog is all very similar, and his experimental stuff is crap.
