These 20 films are the most on television since 1957

The National Center for Animated Images (CNC) presented its 2023 review In which he reveals the top 20 feature films on television since 1957! And be careful, there are surprises, because we do not find Le Corniaud, La Grande vadrouille or Les Bronzés sont du ski: there is only a De Funès film, and not a single brilliant one.

The big winner is Dominic Farrugia’s film

This is Delphine 1, Yvan 0, the first feature film directed by Dominic Farrugia, which is the largest film in 67 years! According to CNC research, it has been broadcast 70 times since 1997 (including 61 on TF1 and often at night), or 2.7 broadcasts per year.

Delphine 1, Yvan 0 is one of 5 ‘football’ comedies we love!

Jean Yann’s indestructible quartet of two BCs with Kolush as “Ben-Hur Marseilles” is still in good shape, and at the bottom of the top 20 we find the expected sous-due of Claude Zide. but also Luc Besson’s Le Grand bleu, Georges Lautner’s Flic ou Voyou and Le Grand Restaurant with Louis de Funes and Bernard Blier.

Asterix is ​​here!

In 2020, there were already three Asterixes in the top ten, now there are five! The list was joined by Asterix and Cleopatra and Asterix Gal, excluding Nikita and The 11 Commandments, which did not even appear in the top 20. Instead, other animated films arrived, including two Tintins and… two more Asterixes! There is no doubt: the magic potion seduces broadcasters! Kiriku’s two films are also very well placed.

The main surprise undoubtedly comes from Bouge!, today’s somewhat forgotten film that takes us back to the dance and hit machine years of the 1990s, starring Lea Drucker, Bernard Le Coq and Sammy Nasser. The film, which had a release of less than 400,000 in 1997, has now found a second life on the small screen.
