Yes!!! "Un héros très discret" -- does anyone know what the French title
means though, since "très discret" doesn't really sound like it'll be the
same as "self made".  I saw it a few years ago and can't really rememember
much of the plot either, I think it started with one cool bit where he's
overheard someone asking at a newspaper kiosk for "the lieutenant's
papers" and the next day he asks a small child at the place he's staying
in to go and fetch him "the lietenant's papers" (so that he won't have to
pay for them) and everyone starts thinking that he really is a famous army
bod.

"Three colours: blue" is another one I'd have in my top 10.

cheers,

tim
