Description of Amelie:
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
Amelie Reviews:
realy nice ,good price 
2008-08-30 - took a bitl ong but it was worth it ,the box and the dvd's were in mint condt.ty
A very good French comedy
2008-08-19 - Only the French, it would seem, can make films like this.
Can someone post other French films that are like this?
Because I want to know.
Great packaging, great movie!
2008-08-03 - I have always loved this movie. My husband and I recently went on our honeymoon and I wanted him to see it for the first time. Not one video store or library in the area carried it, however, and in lieu of joining some highly iffy online movie site, we decided to order it on Amazon. Well, we were not disppointed! The movie came in 2 days and it was an extremely high-quality item. It is packaged in a fold-out sort of case, which is a picture of Amelie sitting up in bed (cute!) and the picture is on both discs. The sound and image qualiy were great, and we are very happy to own this classic.
a stinker like the streets of paris 
2008-07-23 - What could be more irritating than a shy busy body who's idea of happiness is manipulating peoples interaction with each other. God help us if Amelie was a male, any number of stalking laws may be seen as violated. If you want want you French movie experience to be all quaint streets, homely cafes, street markets and bagettes then enjoy all the cliches this fantasy has to offer. My jaded memory of Paris is still the smell of dog poop on the streets and $6 coffees (and that was in the 80's).
Feel good movie
2008-07-07 - Amelie is unlike most French movies which I have seen. It is uplifting and lighthearted. Amelie is a like a fair godmother doing good for those around her.
