Army of Shadows is an almost autobiographical film about the French Resistance during WWII. It's the accumulation of details that matter in a Melville film, and this is one that Melville and novelist Joseph Kessel (who wrote the source for Belle de Jour) know from their own wartime experiences. It has a really strong cast, and I like it about as much as I like all Melville films, which means I recommend it but didn't consider it for my list. In case you didn't know, it wasn't released in the U.S. until 2006.
Sonatine is one of Takeshi's weirdest [that's saying something] where it's unclear what's going on, and then when it becomes kinda clear, it seems to go off in some tangents even weirder, right up to that iconic ending.
None from my list have shown.
