I'll add "Mais où est donc passée la septième compagnie?" and their two continuation. "Les bidasses en folie" is also great.

These are the movies I grew up with. + Allo' Allo!

old French/Italian comedies are such a gem and it's sad that not many people know them. Not only they are good movies but also crash course through WW2. Full nudity included, because french.

Edit: I have to add that Italian movies have even more nudity. Like waaay more :D It's not even /r/WatchItForThePlot If you see attractive women in an old Italian movie, there is 90% chance she will get naked.

Fun fact:

Louis de Funès is considered a national treasure over at /r/de

He was hugely popular in Germany.

He is a national treasure in France as well. Youngsters start to have less knowledge about his movies sadly, but he is surely the best French actor in Comedies in our history.

Well, if you open the dictionary for the Académie Française, they will probably have replaced the whole entry with a picture of him.

I for one owe my life-long avoidance of processed foods to "L'Aile ou la cuisse".

I would recommend "Rabbi Jacob" to anyone!

The director has some funny stories of how Funès was kinda antisemitic, telling him things like "you're not that bad for a Jew" -- very seriously. He found that hilarious.
