I have to confess that I don't take to Jacques Tati.
I resaw Battleship Potemkin (1925) which is one of the really major classics of all time. A dramatised documentary, its use of editing and montage has been one of the most important influences on films since.
The Odessa Steps massacre scene is one of the most famous scenes in any film. Brian de Palma copied the scene in The Untouchables, but if you were to compare the two sequences, the Potemkin version dwarfs The Untouchables and is still powerful 86 years later.
The cinematographer was Eduard Tisse who worked almost exclusively on Sergei Eisenstein's films.

Like Crazy (2011) 6/10

From what I can remember, his films are very similar, mainly a series of incidents rather than a story. I suppose a more modern equivalent would be the Mr Bean character, and the second film Mr Bean's Holiday is clearly titled after Monsieur Hulot's Holiday.

I will watch his other films and see if i agree with you on him
I saw Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House (1948) with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy. A good comedy - it was remade in 1986 as The Money Pit with Tom Hanks.
The book from which Mr Blandings was made was by Eric Hodgins and is autobiographical. According to IMDB the house was recently sold for $1.2m.
Oldboy (2003) Top film *****
I resaw Groundhog Day (1933) with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell - great film.
