Blue is the Warmest Color is an incredible film, it's unsettling at times but I really enjoyed that. I need to add everything else on your list as I haven't seen it. La Haine is great, Amelie is great, but there's one set of films that I can't help but but-in to recommend to Zurangatang in addition to yours:

Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, these two films star Gerard Depardieu and Yves Montand, two of the most notable actors in the history of French cinema. It's more of a period piece than anything else, but the acting, dialogue, and settings are incredible. It revolves around the tension between rural and urban France, when a taxman decides to take up farming in rural France and is faced with opposition from two traditional rural Frenchmen.
