Why is the French Revolution so crazy interesting? I kinda wish I could learn more and more. I need to find some really good movies depicting the French Revolution, because I think that film is the best way to really put myself right in the aristocratic bloodbath. Kirsten Dunst's Marie Antoinette sooort of works. It gets me all the imagery and some interesting background, but I need more. Even though I think she is pretty. Someone please give me some French Revolution film suggestions. Les Miz does not count, because I don't understand how the fighting goes along with the revolution. Plus, the movie doesn't have singing, so what is even the point of a Les Miserables without "On My Own"? Well, I do have a mini crush on Liam Neeson, who just happens to play Jean Valjean, but I can just watch Love Actually for that. So bring on the Revolution epics. As Britney would say, gimme more.

French Toast
Have you ever uttered the phrase "we're toast"? Probably not. It's kinda passe, like the cat's pajamas, swell, groovy, all of that sweet slang that has faded with time. But when I called this post "French Toast", I meant that toast in the former, not so hip anymore slang. Because I am learning about the French Revolution in class, and those French nobles were totally toast.

I know of a couple of films about/made during the French Revolution that I saw during my French Film Before 1960 class. They're all in French, but if you don't mind subtitles, I can give you the titles.
