Jules et Jim

There are probably several French films which should have made it onto this list, including other ones by Truffaut, but Jules et Jim is an all-time classic. Truffaut has a knack for making complex relationships easily understandable on an emotional level. It's particularly interesting to watch the dynamic of the three people develop over several years.
