Perhaps the most charming movie of all time, Amélie is certainly one of the top 10. The title character (the bashful and impish Audrey Tautou) is a single waitress who decides to help other lonely people fix their lives. Her widowed father yearns to travel but won't, so to inspire the old man she sends his garden gnome on a tour of the world; with whispered gossip, she brings together two cranky regulars at her café; she reverses the doorknobs and reprograms the speed dial of a grocer who's mean to his assistant. Gradually she realizes her own life needs fixing, and a chance meeting leads to her most elaborate stratagem of all. This is a deeply wonderful movie, an illuminating mix of magic and pragmatism. Fans of the director's previous films (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children) will not be disappointed; newcomers will be delighted. --Bret Fetzer

I was skeptical about this movie knowing that it was in french so I needed to watch it with English subtitles, but after watching this, it is my new favorite movie. This movie is so delightful and I feel like I can relate to Amelie so well.

This movie is in my top 10 movies of all time. Really its a feel good movie, with a great soundtrack. The the people and their oddities really put things into perspective, you could probably pick a character and know a person just like them. It also comments on life's simple pleasures, which i think people all to often forget. Don't rent this movie buy it, really you'll be happy you did.

I love this movie, it's the sort of pretty thing you can watch again and again. Some fans of foreign films or of this director will likely be disappointed by how "sappy" it is, which I can get, but I loved this movie despite any disneyesque qualities it has. It's very pretty to look at, it stirs up warm feelings and it may even leave you looking at garden gnomes differently.

Audrey Tautou (The Davinci Code) evokes Audry Hepburn for me. This sweet film, based in Paris, follows the pursuit of love a young Parisian woman feels for a mysterious man she finds pictured in several novelty photograph booths. She gently inspires her father back to life by enlisting the aid of a flight attendant friend of hers to take her father's garden gnome with her on flights around the world. Pictures of the gnome in Russia and other exotic locals are sent back as postcards to the father ... Read More
