Movies set in Paris

I've decided to embark on a never-ending quest of watching all movies set in Paris. The problem is where to draw the line for "set in Paris."

Here is the list of movies set (fully or partially) in Paris that I have seen, in order of my preference. This will be updated accordingly. If you have a Letterboxd account, you can check out my list here.  And suggestions are always welcomed, and highly encouraged!
  1. Amelie by Jean-Pierre Jeunet
  2. Moulin Rouge by Baz Luhrman
  3. Inception by Christopher Nolan
    4. Not the majority of the movie, and mostly dream sequences... but still counts!  Hotel Paris Rive Gauche blog has this great article about the scenes in the movie, so we can reenact scenes.
