okay, when you watch movies in french, i recommend you put FRENCH subtitles.
so you can READ what they say, sometimes it helps.

that's how many of my friend were able to understand french better.
i also recommend putting the film in english and english subtitles to my french friends when they watch movies.

and hey, i'm french, and sometimes i have trouble understanding what the FUCK those danged people are saying , so no worries =]

well i just thought i'd help since i'm french and all =]

try:
small change ( l'argent de poche) by francois truffaut. it's way cute.
mon oncle ( my uncle) by jacques tati
amelie ( i'm sure you've seen it though)
le gout des autres ( the taste of others)
the chorus ( les choristes)
the closet ( le placard)
diner de cons
les visiteurs ( the visitors; be sure to get the french one, they made an american one with that girl chirstina applegate, DONT GET THAT ONE)
very long engagement ( un long dimanche de fiancailles)

i'm sure that will be good for now. if you run out of movies to watch, i'll ask my mom for more titles.

enjoy!
i've seen all of those and they are way good.
