the mesrine films are pretty accurate by all accounts, and they are both really good. his henchman was captured in honfleur btw (some of you will know that place....sim!)

If you want something more actiony there's Brotherhood of the Wolf (le pacte des loup) which has some similarities to sleepy hollow, but with a wolf-like monster instead of a headless horseman), District 13 (banlieu 13) which is pretty much a movie for parkour/free running set in a dystopian futuristic paris where all the criminals have been walled into one district and it's up to a cop and the one honest guy who lives there, to go in and retrieve a nuclear war head that has fallen into the wrong hands. It also has a sequel District 13- Ultimatum.
Going back to school there's always La Reine Margot, Jean De Florette and Manon De Source. Since you liked Tell No one, you might like Hidden (cache) about a man who keeps recieving surveillence footage of himself and he thinks it has something to do with his past...
You can check out some originals such as Mon Pere, ce hero (my father the hero), le cage aux foilles (the bird cage), 3 hommes et un couffin (three men and a baby)
I hear Amelie is very good.

Amelie's good if you're the sort of person who likes Sex and the City. It's bloody awful to the rest of us

Les Valsusers - Gerard Depardieu's Dedut 1974, low budget, great film

It's ALL about Les Aventures De Rabbi Jacob by Louis de Funes. It might be a bit highbrow for some though.
Ah Yes! I second Brotherhood of The Wolf - fantastic film in any language!
And you get to see Monica Belucci's fleshy bits.
Also stars the guy from iron chef america (mark dacascos) - he's on the left in that picture.
