@mariojacobs​ Thanks, I am probably going to limit it to films that are nearly 100% Paris located. This is one has several international locations.

Ah, of course. I wasn't really thinking about how low the score and profile was when mentioning it. I've never seen it before and found the trivia interesting, but I reckon it must be pretty boring or hokey to have such low values.

Like I said, I appreciate any insights or suggestions. I already know there were going to be lots of worthy Parisian films on the outside looking in.

There are hundreds of films that use a Parisian backdrop as the setting for their story. I think the main criteria is going to be the film has to be made in and about Paris. After that, I would say it would be about the film's vote total (with 25 pool films being >75k ) and rating (with 25 pool films being >7.3+ IMDb rated ). I already have films that are around 8.0 IMDb rated and all about Paris, but are either lower voted or just older as their only knock on their inclusion. So, you can see from the long list of honorable mentions listed above, I am looking for either a gross oversight left on the sidelines or something better than what is already is waiting in the wings.
