Recomend some 60s-70s French gangster films

I already have the Criterion and Kino titles, and was wondering if there were other good French crime films out there from the 60s and 70s. I have Le Professionel and Le Magnifique on my wish list already. Thanks.

Anchor Bay's Un Flic.
(or snap the upcoming Alain Delon box with it...)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alain-Delon-...7570604&sr=1-1

TF1's Edouard Molinaro's L'Emmerdeur R2 (English-friendly)
http://www.amazon.fr/LEmmerdeur-Lino...7570374&sr=1-6

The Sicilian Clan (any Jean Gabin picture from the period fits the profile)
http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/si...n-p-11476.html

etc....

There are a ton of great French discs but I can not recommend them because they are not English-friendly.

Ciao,

Hopefully there will be a region 1 release for that Delon box. I already have Un Flic but would love to pick up the other titles. Alain Delon is one cool motherfucker.

That would be impossible...the rights for these belong to different companies in R1 land.
