Even thou subtitles annoy me, This is such an fascinating, beautiful film. Cinematography is second to none. Original and timeless masterpiece. Great plot and amazing story with creative humor and spectacular movie.. Subtitles and all. It's absolutely worth your time
WIRED
A perfect, magical little romance There's a reason this film is rarely included in that roundly mocked canon of movies about flighty, adorable women who exist in their own wonderland for the benefit of a male story arc. The tale of Amélie (played effervescently by Audrey Tautou), an impossibly idealistic Parisian waitress who concocts and performs elaborate good deeds for those around her, is entirely her own, with love interest Nino Quincampoix (Mathieu Kassovitz) almost a secondary plotline. In its wake, none of the film's challengers have come close to the finesse of combining a photobooth, a globetrotting garden gnome, and fifteen orgasms to make a perfect, magical little romance – not just a girl with a boy, but also with herself and her city. Plus, Yann Tiersen's inimitable soundtrack is, well, inimitable.

Mindblown If you understand the concept of filmmaking, then you will enjoy this film. This is not for action freaks, you really have to look deeper. The story is well written, and photography is top tier. The staging is amazing, and its got great movement. Music was well integrated, and special effects as well. Worth the time in my book.

Fantastic! This movie is amazing! Funny and heart warming, anyone can watch it and find one way to relate to the unique characters of this movie. I wish it was for purchase not rent only! Everyone who gave this movie a low score either doesn't believe in love or didn't understand the movie's concept.

Would love to own this one, not just rent! Audrey Tatou is very cute in this movie. It's one of my favorites. It would be nice to own a copy downloaded onto my tablet. Will upgrade score when I can purchase and play AMELIE on tablet, along with GHOST DOG.

I love this movie! I watched this movie for the first time while flying to go camping at Yosemite National Park. This movie is subtitled so if you don't like those kind of films then don't buy. However, if you are interested in a truly awesome cinematic experience then watch this film. My favorite aspect of the movie is the very descriptive dialogue from the narrator. Also, the characters are unique and interesting. This movie is not your normal film and it shows you a world in a very interesting way from the point of view of Amélie. For those with kids, I do not recommend this movie to be watched with your children because there are a few sex scenes in the film (Hence the rated R). I wish the Play Store allowed us to own it instead of renting but hopefully that will come in time.
Wonderful Movie! So incredibly witty and fascinating - would give this title ten stars!
Hilarious Audrey Tautou at her best. Brilliantly directed. This is NOT just another foreign film. You will fall in love! (Bonus:You'll see where Travelocity stole their idea)
Very cute The movie is in French but there is little speaking so you don't notice you're reading subtitles. Its a very cute and colorful movie
All Time Favorite This is my favorite movie ever. This is the smartest, sweetest, most whimsical I've yet seen, and it never gets old. I just wish I could buy it.
Féerique C'est un de mes films préférés. À mon avis, il peut apporter du sens et de la profondeur à nos vies, car il s'agit de l'esprit humain qui cherche le bonheur et l'amour. Je recommande de visionner ce film immédiatement pour en profiter.

Comedy

Watch it now while it's still in theaters! On a flight from New York to Paris, ladies' man Antoine (Nicolas Bedos of Populaire) finds himself seated next to artist Julie (Ludivine Sagnier of Swimming Pool and The Devil's Double) -the hotheaded ex with whom he had a nasty breakup three years ago. Face to face, the pair relive the highs and lows of their tumultuous relationship. She's now engaged and he's still afraid of commitment, but their chemistry is undeniable. Miles high, will they rekindle their passion? (Original Title - Love is in the Air (aka Amour et turbulences))
He's My Girl
Comedy
2
A fast-paced, spirited gay farce, He's My Girl follows the adventures of Simon Eskenazy (Antoine de Caunes). A successful musician in the process of finishing an album, Simon is a very busy man. Already overextended by work, he hits a breaking point when his melodramatic, ailing mother (Judith Magre) insists that he care for her in a time of need. If all that weren't bad enough, he's also juggling an insistent agent, an ex-wife, a ten-year-old son and two younger male lovers. With a fit body and professorial good looks, Simon doesn't have trouble finding young guys with "daddy" fantasies to satisfy his horndog impulses. He has been in a relationship with Raphael (Micha Lescot) for more than a year, but soon finds his interest divided when he meets Naim (Medhi Debhi), a talented female impersonator who turns him on both in and out of drag. Simon is feeling the pangs of true love, but is reluctant to admit it. However, when Naim, in character as "Rose," proves adept at caring for his high-maintenance, bed-ridden mother, he starts reconsidering all of his preconceived notions and fears.
Hollywood Je T'aime
Comedy
2
Heartbroken from a recent breakup and barely enduring a dreary winter, gay Parisian Jerome impulsively books a solo Christmas vacation to Los Angeles. There, he meets some colorful locals and pursues a dormant desire to become a movie star - but never can quite put his past behind him. Jerome goes far in the sun-drenched City of Angels but ultimately arrives at an old Hollywood maxim: there's no place like home. Bright, funny, honest and utterly charming, Hollywood, Je T'aime is a stunning debut for Director Jason Bushman. Eric Debets shines as Jerome. His classic look and an amusing ease with his own awkwardness are evocative of Buster Keaton and Marcel Marceau. MPAA Rating: G © 2008 Wolfe Video

He has let out part of it to up and coming cook Franck (Guillaume Canet), a gruff young loner and womaniser with a genuine love for his frail grandmother, Paulette (Francoise Bertin). When Camille falls ill, Philibert insists she stay with the two of them so he can look after her. And even though she and Franck clash, the trio manage to live together and learn from each other © 2006 Pathé Production - TF1 Film Production (Original Title: ENSEMBLE, C'EST TOUT)

What on earth is going on? Nadia is about to celebrate her birthday and Titeuf wasn't invited! Why not?
