"In the 1960s, a large number of new, young directors in France started making films that offered a fresh perspective on existing techniques and attitudes about the medium of film itself. They influenced the rest of the world with their interest in film history and created reflexive, modernist work that pushed the boundaries of the medium and arguably changed the course of Hollywood forever.
Because of the large body of work created in this time period, a great number of films have gone overlooked since their release, some even by the famous directors themselves. This list is an attempt to highlight such films, show why some of the directors not conventionally considered French New Wave were still a part of the movement, and give some insight into why the films, in retrospect, were just as good, if not better, than the more famous works".
