I’m late to the movie collection, but man, like for so many others who commented above, this is a movie I’ve seen like 50 times but it’s been over a decade since the last watch. It was delightful to watch it again with you. It’s just as wonderful as I remember.

Please, please watch this movie! I wanted to recommend the same one. Same director and also the same lead actress, also another French actor I like in the lead male role, and a few familiar faces probably. This director likes to cast the same actors more than once. And that movie, it’s so beautiful. There are moments in that movie I’ve been waiting years to hear someone talk about and so many people haven’t seen this one.
ETA: another one that he might like, much more mystical and creepy, the same director, some familiar faces… The City of Lost Children

Thanks for the recommendation. I've always heard about that movie. Is the one with the tiger right? I'll keep it on my radar

So true. I think I'll appreciate the artistic nature of it more on a 2nd watch. This first watch the tension was just too high.

Hey Frank! Not sure where we can submit movie recommendations but watching this reaction made me think of Life of Pi - an absurdly wild and wonderful film that I think would be right up your alley. Great reaction as always!

Oh wow...it has been a minute since I've watched Amélie, so it was definitely a delight to watch it along with you all! The pure joy, whimsy and almost a sense of wistfulness this movie generates is absolute ❤️
I don't know if you've watched it before or its on your horizon, but Rye Lane is another movie that really encompasses that vibrancy & joy.

Throwbackkkkk. Too much of my teenage identity revolved around Amelie and The Virgin Suicides - another amazing film, would recommend!

One of my favorites. I too remember seeing it when it came out at one of our independent theaters. It was so original.

Amélie is one of my all time favorites. I was also a kid who spent the majority of my time alone, no siblings and moving around a lot. I relate a lot to the rich internal life Amélie developed, and the loneliness that comes with it. I'm so glad you liked it.

I have watched this so many times but it must have been 10+ years since the last time. Still such a beautiful piece of art 🥰 and the sound track! My friend can play the song from the movie with the piano. Never getting tired of listening to it 🥰

This movie is just so charming and whimsical. I really love how everything is connected.

Yes! Cameras are so racist!!
Kodak was the one who did the official color balance for everyone, and like you say it was based on white people.
Companies only started to change the color balance when chocolate companies and teak furniture companies started to complain that their *product* didn't look as good. Ugh.
I heard Issa Rae talk about how important it was for her to light her show properly, and how hard she had to fight for a director of photography with expertise in filming Black people to join her team.

I’m French and I use to watch this film when I was 8/9 years old but I didn’t understand the movie i just loved the aesthetics. I can’t wait to really watch it for the first time lol

One of my favorite films, it played in a theater I worked at and I never got tired of ducking in to watch a bit. Even now, having seen it many times, it makes me smile.
The director, Pierre Jeunet, is a great, and his collaboration with Marc Caro (Delicatessen and City of Lost Children) are kind of exemplary cool foreign films from the 90s. The Longest Engagement is also a great one directed by Jeunet and starring many of the cast from Amelie and his other films.
You mentioned Wes Anderson and I highly recommend two of his earlier films, Bottle Rocket and Rushmore. Between those two, which are very different films, you can see when he gets the feel of the kind of tone/style he wants in his films and from then on it is just bangers. (at least if you dig on his style...which I do.)

such an underrated movie. I could honestly watch this movie every single day of my life and still enjoy every moment of it. I think this has to be at least the 50th or 60th time I've seen it and I literally have happy tears in my eyes right now like I just watched it for the first time.

Tha you so much for watching this! I didn't expect that my YT comment 3 months ago would actually end up getting us this reaction.
