Jean-Luc Godard passes away: Best films of the world cinema legend

Film director Jean-Luc Godard, the godfather of France's New Wave cinema, passed away on September 13. He was 93. Godard's movies inspired many and brought a major change to French cinema in 1960. A revolutionary filmmaker, he pushed cinematic boundaries and inspired iconoclastic directors decades after his 1960s heyday. Here's a list of some of his finest works.

Breathless (1960): Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, the 1960 crime drama starts as a gangster film and becomes a romance before ultimately commenting on cinema itself.
