Rate and rank the films of Louis Malle

Tools    





I searched and didn't find a thread about Louis Malle or his films, so I decided to start one.
Here is my rating and ranking of what I have seen of his films:

My Dinner with Andre (1981) 10/10
Black Moon (1975) 9/10
Pretty Baby (1978) 8/10
Elevator to the Gallows (1958) 8/10
Au Revoir les Enfants (1987) 8/10
The Fire Within (1963) 7/10
Atlantic City (1980) 5/10
May Fools (1990) 5/10



The trick is not minding
Talk about a director I really want to delve further into.
My viewings have been pretty weak so far.

Au Revoir, Les Enfants. 8.5/10
Atlantic City 7/10
Pretty Baby 4/10


Really want to get into his pre 1980’s stuff.
And of course, My Dinner with Andre.

Murmur of the Heart
My all-time fave. Scandalous & hugely entertaining.
