Paris in books or movies . . . for grownups and kids

What are your favorite books or movies that feature Paris? For grownups? For children? I know about Les Miserables, Madeleine, and the Red Balloon. What else would you recommend? The children are 9 and 5. I%26#39;ll look forward to hearing your favorites!

%26quot;A Moveable Feast%26quot; by Ernest Hemingway.

Sorry, I meant to say that the Hemingway book is for the adults.

For the kids, perhaps the %26quot;Madeleine%26quot; series of books, and the the film %26quot;Ratatouille%26quot;?

some movies:

-Children of Paradise, one of the best ever movies of all time...

-Sabrina -

-funny face

-The Day of the Jackal - The original (only some of it is in Paris)

-Le Divorce - captures a certain point of view about Paris.

-French Kiss -

-Amelie -

-An American in Paris - A classic look at the city of light.

-Ronin (incredible car chases in Paris at the end)

(there is a bit of overlap between the 2 lists)

there are many many more movies from France set in Paris that have never been shown in the USA..

Taken is also one of the latest films to use Paris as a backdrop: it was a pleasant surprise.

Tell No One

Hi -

A Little Romance - Diane Ladd%26#39;s first film, and with Olivier - how great is that. The film is a charmer.

|||

My favorite ones are Amelie and Paris je t%26#39;aime. Have just watched the movie called Paris with Juliette Binoche. Lot of Paris...

|||

2 Days in Paris, with Adam Goldberg and Julie Delpy

|||

Oh Gosh! I forgot about A Little Romance with Diane Lane. It is such a sweet little movie.

Hemingway%26#39;s Paris by Robert E. Gajdusek. This is a book of photographs taken by Robert%26#39;s wife to which he added quotations from Hemingwat%26#39;s writings, both fiction and non-fiction. They are mainly black %26amp; white photos, but they loved Paris so much that as you flip through the book you will recognize places and things. You can find these used for $4.00 or so.

Sadly, Robin, a noted Hemingway scholar, passed away a few years ago.
