Movies that get me in the mood for Paris

Amelie with Audrey Tautou.
Scorsese's Hugo.
Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.
Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge.
Before Sunset with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy (picks up nine years after Before Sunrise, in which the characters meet and fall in love in Vienna)
Something’s Gotta Give with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson (true story: I hated this movie when I first saw it in movie theaters, but now it's one of those guilty TV pleasures)
Pixar's Ratatouille
The DaVinci Code (Audrey Tautou again, with Tom Hanks - for conspiracy theorists)
Like musicals?  Try An American in Paris with Gene Kelly.
Marion Cotillard won a Best Actress Oscar for La Vie en Rose.
Diva is an 80's classic.
Bertolucci's (and Brando's) classic, Last Tango in Paris.
