The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is on my list of films to watch. I almost watched it last year, but other films took precedence. I also plan to see The Tin Drum. Belle de Jour isn't on my list currently, but I will probably add it eventually.
I've seen (and enjoyed) a number of films that Carriere was involved with, incuding:
Valmont
The Return of Martin Guerre
Cyrano de Bergerac
That Obscure Object of Desire
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
At Eternity's Gate
R.I.P. Jean-Claude Carriere

I just watched The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie for the first time in years a week or two ago. It brings a smile to my slips just thinking about it.

Well, I'm a failure. Only The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Belle du Jour. Time to watch more.

Re: R.I.P. Jean-Claude Carriere
When someone has been involved in writing three of your all-time favorite films -- in my case, Belle de Jour, The Tin Drum, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being -- as well as many, many other fine pieces of work (it's so long since I saw it, I didn't even realize he was involved in Taking Off), he clearly rates a loud salute at his departure. A uniquely long (he still has work in post-production) and extraordinarily honorable career.
