Any movies featuring Alsace-Lorraine in France?

Anyone know of any movies featuring the landscape, people, or culture of Alsace-Lorraine in France? I discovered that my ancestors came to the U.S. from there and I would like to see it on film. I love foreign movies, so I thought this would be a fun way to experience the region instead of reading a history book.
I'm more interested in cinema films than travel videos, but if there are some travel DVDs that focus on Alsace-Lorraine I would check them out also.
BTW, I already found the Wiki description and, yes, I know it's now called Alsace-Moselle. :)
Thanks, merci, and danke!

My family is from Alsace-Lorraine. I actually have quite a few family members still there. You should email me sometime so we can talk.

There are not many movies set there...(too bad it is a wonderful area).
The best is a made for TV Movie called in French "les Alsaciens ou les deux Mathilde". I do not know if it is subtitled in English though.
It explains a lot of the history of the area and the problems common people had by switching back and forth between 2 citizenships.
I come from there and my grandpa born in1909 was born German then became French on 1918, then re-became German in 1940 and then died with a French citizenship. Mindbogling, isn't it?

If I think of others I will let you know.

On IMDB you can also search for filming locations. Here's the link for Strasbourg, France for example: http://www.imdb.com/List?endings=on&&loc...

Try their Power Search, and entering 'Alsace' in the field 'Location': http://www.imdb.com/list

Apparently 'Jules et Jim', which is wonderful, was partly filmed in Alsace, although I have no idea which scenes exactly.
