Audrey Tautou, while not a classic actress, is really popular right now. She's been in movies such as Voyeux Voyelles (EN: Pretty Devils), Le Battement D'Ailes Du Papillon (Happenstance), and my personal favorite, ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â€ La Folie ... Pas du Tout (He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not). You might recognize her as Sophie Neveu from The Da Vinci Code.

Jean de Florette and its sequel Manon des Sources are (I believe) classics in France. Jean de Florette doesn't have a strong female lead (but the young girl in JdF will grow up to be a young woman and play a huge role in Manon des Sources). Jean de Florette stars GÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â©rard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil (if you want a great movie with two GREAT male leads, check out Le HuitiÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¨me Jour with Daniel Auteuil). Manon des Sources again stars Daniel Auteuil and Manon is played by Emmanuelle BÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â©art.

And you should see Marion Cotillard, who plays Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose (english title.) She is up for best actress this year.
