I'm wondering if anyone here has a list of German or French language action films.

You could check out B13, set in near-futur Paris. The storyline is thin at best, but there are some amazing parkour
and martial arts scenes!

Some of my favourites (taking "action" as a very loose term):

Ne le dis à personne (Tell No-one) - slick thriller with François Cluzet
Pour elle - prison break thriller, was recently remade with Russell Crowe
Banlieue 13 - already mentioned (avoid its sequel though)
Taxi / Taxi 2 90s classics with driving, comedy, and a fair bit of dialogue
Le bossu - period swordfighting romp with Daniel Auteuil

Lola Rennt - well-known
Nordwand - gripping historical Alp-climbing adventure
Sennentuntschi - crazy Swiss film with Schwiitzertüütsch, horror and mystery

Stalingrad and das Boot are very good war films, they are not pure action though.

Germany doesn't make many action films. Most German films tend to be drama or comedy.

Germany does have quite a lot of police based TV series, but these tend to lean more towards drama than action.

I just watched a German film I'd recommend called Die kommenden Tage (2010), it's not an action film but a sort of dystopian sci-fi drama and probably the most modern mainstream-like film I've seen coming out of Germany in a while.

The Horde (French) is probably one of the better zombie films I have seen in a long time. Really action packed. It was on netflix forever and I think someone has upoaded it to youtube.
