These are the films listed in Antoine de Baecque's introduction to the French New Wave, La nouvelle vague: portrait d'une jeunesse.

The book contains a short selection of 20 films that defined the genre: "Here is, from 1958 to 1962, a selection of 20 films which have made the New Wave. This is the core of about 150 films, from young directors, during few years, most of which are forgotten today."
These films are the first 20 films on the list, ranked chronologically.

The book also mentions a lot of films that were made during 1958 to 1962, before, and after, which can be considered New Wave.
These films make up the rest of the list, ranked chronologically as well.
