16	Judge Holden	2 _15th
I barely made it through to the end, and then when I did, I wish I hadn't bothered. I'll admit I'm a moody prick who's incapable of enjoying light and optimistic movies, but this is such fucking overkill that they might as well have replaced Amelie with a talking golden retriever wearing a colorful party hat and given it a party whistle for it to blow each time it did something WHIMSICAL.
13	NathanDarko	100 _99th
The best movie I've seen in years. Touched my heart in a way only a few others did before. Audrey Tautou plays brilliant and counts with her charme to the best european actors. Amelie will left a smile upon your face long after you switched of your TV.
11	PeaceAnarchy	100 _99th
A beautiful movie that gets better every time I see it. It's a romance but it's very off beat and original and the supporting characters help give the film a great sense of humor.
10	MartinTeller	95 _98th
A modern masterpiece of wit, whimsy, romance and warmth. In typical Jeunet fashion, the film's visual style is jaw-dropping, with a fistful of clever tricks, gorgeous splashes of bright colors, and a dynamic camera that keeps you on your toes. Audrey Tatou is charming, but really the entire cast is excellent. I also like the blink-and-you'll-miss-it clip from Jules et Jim, and the movie as a whole has a general New Wave-y feel to it.
9	jimmynmu	90 _91st
Very charming and warm. A very well made film, it has a great pace, exploring quite a bit but it never drags. The ending is great too, it's hard not to feel good inside after watching Amelie.
7	eveelun	87 _95th
The movie whisks along charming you at every moment with its childlike awe at the world. The film manages to capture the essence of a dreamer's imagination without resorting to artificial and cliched images. The Tierson soundtrack is also excellent.
5	Magb	95 _94th
On a few occasions it's a bit too quirky for its own good. Other than that it's a joy to watch from beginning to end.
5	Chouinard	97 _99th
Has one of my favorite scenes ever filmed, it fills my heart past bursting with joy when she walks the blind man along the busy road and describes all the sights. I wish I were able to spend time bringing such happiness to strangers.
4	svicciarelli	95 _94th
Utter magic. There is so much charm in this movie it could end wars.
4	Shadrik	95 _98th
Incredibly enchanting, Audrey Tautou matches perfectly and even just listening to the soundtrack cheers me up every time.
4	Paxton	74 _75th
Today I put my 2 year old son's socks on his stuffed cow. He didn't laugh, but he knew it was silly and he liked it. He kept it close to him and would stop playing from time to time to just look at it and enjoy the silliness. That's kind of how I feel about this movie. I'm not laughing out loud, but I want to be around silliness like this.
2	triffid	95 _97th
I'm not really into these "feel-good" films, but Amélie is an exception. Jeunet's directing is awesome, with lots of clever tiny ideas and details you will notice only after repeated viewings. Very pleasant to watch.
2	doctor7	81 _74th
It's a beautiful film for sure, full of wit and lovably odd characters. My only complaint is the movie seemed to drag for the final half hour due to Amelie's own insecurity, instead of simply talking her crush she keeps avoiding him. I understand this is part of her character and is the result of her sheltered upbringing however I still find conflict that could be solved by two people being honest with one another frustrating. This film is still a must see, even if you have that gripe like I do.
2	chow25	90 _90th
Hilarious, touching, Lead character is lovable x2. Top of the line romance. Who didn't want her to succeed??
2	Ytadel	7 _83rd
A ridiculously cute and charming movie. My inner cynic is a pretty big asshole, so it says a lot that this movie shut up my scoffing and eye rolling within minutes. Audrey Tautou is as cute as a button. Unless your significant other is too dumb to read subtitles, this is an awesome date movie that everyfuckingbody can enjoy.
2	eser	60 _4th
one of the most overrated movies, there is nothing special about this movie...
2	Anomaly	71 _51st
Good for the first half hour or so, but soon after it begins to wear out its welcome and becomes absurd. Kind of hard to sympathize when you realize all this whimsy and charm is hiding how much of a manipulative creep Amelie is being. Tautou does bring some great charm though, and the cinematography is excellent - but it stumbles after a great start.
2	theficionado	25 _20th
Calculatedly and exhaustingly whimsical.
2	SCanfield22	89 _84th
The simple, beautiful, funny and sad story of a shy Parisian girl named Amelie, and how her father has affected her life. An odd girl, Amelie floats through life, trying to make the best of every situation, until she comes across a man shares a lot of her same whimsical views on life. This is modern French cinema at its finest.
2	unohav_1	100 _98th
What a charming film. I had no idea where this was going during it, such a nice break from so many predictable films. One of my absolute favorites.
2	nimno	98 _99th
I was unprepared for how enjoyable and suspenseful this turned out to be. The twists just kept unfolding. It is a wonderful movie and the kind you can watch again and again.
2	darkman	100 _99th
Simply the best movie. So many nice details, so much flow, so sad, so charming, so heartwarming. It can't get any better. And the soundtrack is excellent.
2	recklessmess	98 _99th
You don't have to speak french to love this movie. You just have to speak awesome.
2	mattburgess	62 _36th
Twee, cutesy horseshit loved by lonely white people. I mean its sweet, slickly made and comes from a sincere place at least but ugh. It could be worse though, it could be made by Americans and starring Zooey Deschanel.
2	Waldheri	100 _98th
The ultimate feel-good film. You'll love it. It ranks among my top favourites.
2	tarwebrood	100 _99th
whoaaaaa.. great Great GREAT movie, funny, witty, loving, a new sensation, and easily absorbable music was wonderful too, Yann Tiersen did a splendid job on this one. See "chocolat" too, same style. Other french movie I like: Les choristes (the chorus 2004)
2	sharpcool	60 _29th
I'm not a big fan of quirky and whimsical so I couldn't get into it, but Audrey Tautou is a pleasure to look at.
2	Beer94	85 _97th
I loved it. Typically French and an ideal example of how good foreign films can be. The quirky humour went down a treat, the acting is great, espcially Tautou, and the concept and execution was so bizarre, but it all came together and worked. Thoroughly recommend it.
2	yesistasty	75 _31st
A socially retarded woman scurries around Paris, and inspires countless angsty teenagers to keep on truckin.
2	jmarkthespot	35 _23rd
LOOK HOW QUIRKY I AM
2	stuie299	60 _16th
I just don't care. Like I really just don't care about anyone. The acting is very good, and the art direction/cinematography have some nice touches. Its just the script is so full of itself. It thinks it can pass off a few quirks as character development and the narration is very overbearing. Overall though, it would probably at the very least be watchable if the pacing wasn't so slow and drawn out. Shame because it is packaged rather nicely.
2	by Devol	23 _4th
This exercise in cutesy-wootsyness would have benefitted greatly if this starred, instead, Courtney Love, and only on the conditon that she was constantly strung out on meth for the entire shoot, her hair all askew, eyes insanely bugged out, mascara constantly running down her greasy, pock-marked face, and a constant stream of the most profane invective issuing forth from a mouth with a couple blacked-out teeth. Maybe she could break into the odd chicken dance. THEN I would reappraise this.
1	SlrSoapbox	65 _30th
Some parts are very cute and funny, and it's visually beautiful. However, I got really tired of Amelie's ridiculously contrived shyness, especially after it was obvious to her that Nino liked her. Also, some of her meddling tactics were just nasty - the grocer didn't ever realize that things were going wrong because someone was retaliating against him for being an ass, so what was the point?
1	ServantDagon	66 _18th
Vastly overrated. Audrey Tautou is cute.
1	heandhishair	76 _78th
A very pretty movie with a take-it-or-leave-it story. Worth to check atleast once.
1	Moribunny	35 _19th
I confess I could never watch this through. It annoys and irritates me to no end with its flamboyant stylishness and incessant demands that you love Amélie cuz she's so adorable.
1	Kavu	89 _92nd
One of the best feelgood movies there is. Full of color both literally and metaphorically and leaves a warm feeling behind.
1	bojanpopic	94 _94th
I never seen movie where is so much love for life bottled in such a lovely story. Simple beautiful. Best recommendation for this movie came from my friend: "While exiting from cinema, everyone was smiling". I went and watched it, and came out smiling.
1	cagedwisdom	75 _65th
A bit overrated. Maybe it just hasn't aged well. In 2016 this is full to the brim of overused hipster film tropes, to the point where it is almost insufferably quirky. The side effects of being a benchmark.
1	Derekstar	100 _96th
Apparently I like girl's movies, because I adored this. It's incredibly sweet, and charming, and funny, and all that good stuff. Audrey Tautou is off the hook. She's got an Audrey Hepburn thing going on. Screw that, she's got more of it going on than Hepburn did.
1	Nathan S	3 _45th
Some of its more dramatic aspects are a little undercut by the sheer whimsy, and the quirkiness borders on overindulgence, but in the end its charm won me over. A virtuoso piece of editing, this.
1	ThaneOfFife	85 _64th
I didn't think I would like this, as it is not the type of movie i'm usually interested in. I was pleasantly surprised, its actually very good.
1	martryn	91 _94th
It's cute, or whatever. I think it's highly overrated, but it is a great film, regardless.
1	frederic_g54	9 _90th
A lyrical and visual feast.
1	julianb	100 _99th
The best feel-good movie ever made. A young introverted girl who has a sincere desire to help people. Mischievous, shy, kind. Simply missunderstood. Audrey Tautou is adorable.
1	amerigo	83 _81st
The word saccharine is defined as sickeningly sweet. This movie is saccharine.
1	Elke	99 _95th
I absolutely loved this movie! The storyline, as well as the cinematography, pleased every human sense. Humorous, sad, touching and playful, all at the same time. Simply fantastic.
1	Jarmann	83 _79th
Surrealism mixed with a great story told woth warmth and humour.
1	mohan	100 _97th
A classic - can't get tired watching it, surprised/inspired by the creativity/insight/wit every time I watch it. Top-notch creativity achievable with human characters shot live (non-animated) :)
1	la boheme	100 _97th
It makes you happy while making you think. Perfect to watch when you're feeling down about life and love. Tatou is utterly charming.
1	ronthedog	78 _33rd
Heavily mannered love story/fairytale that walks the fine line between charming and sickly, and just about stays on its feet.
1	Vandelay1	87 _96th
Very Great
1	Zealot185	38 _16th
This movie begs for me to enjoy the finer things in life, but as I witnessed Amelie please other characters in the most retardedly roundabout ways, I just couldn't give in to that message. Just ask the guy out already! I enjoyed the Travelocity gnome's role more than anything.
1	XakkMaster	96 _97th
A sheltered and overprotected child, she doesn't really understand love and fears she'll never know the meaning of life. In her anti-social approach, Amelie decides to enrich the lives of those around her by anonymously acting out kind gestures. However, in her task, she begins to fall in love with a man she has only met through a photo journal. The finest romantic comedy in recent memory also has a sublime soundtrack; helping it to become one of the most enjoyable films of the decade.
1	QVT	60 _64th
Some good, some bad. Fuck manic pixie dream girls though for real. Amelie is a fucking annoying twat in this movie that is saved by fantastic visual work.
1	SirStuckey	90 _94th
When I saw this I was deep in my super realism, tell it like it is, and the way it is is that life will chew you up and spit you out phase of my teenage years. I thought I knew everything and that the world was bullshit. If you had told the premise of this movie to me I would have rolled my eyes and scoffed at the thought of liking it. I watched it, I loved it. It didn't change my views but it certainly showed how great of a movie it is if I didn't think it was bullshit as an asshole 19 year old
1	jadedkitty	95 _84th
Who knew the French could be kooky and fun?
1	Bown	93 _96th
It's not easy to come up with new adjectives for Amélie, so may as well stick with the cliches - it's whimsical, it's charming, it's warm, it's funny, and Audrey Tautou is utterly adorable. All the characters' stories are remarkably fun and interesting, and the visual style is wonderfully stylised and frantic. First time I saw this I think I felt it dragged its heels somewhat towards the end (oh no! she got the wrong end of the stick!) but this time I was completely swept up in the journey.
1	Duco	81 _75th
Intriguing, lovely, different. Amelie is an unordinary girl with great setting, million tiny details and billion ordinary life stories, great acting and a wonderful sound score. She's just too cute too miss!
1	Tavington	5 _97th
Altruistic mastermind in fabulous movie.
1	d_drudges	90 _95th
Never fails to make me smile.
1	billkerwin	90 _83rd
A sweet clever little movie. The screenplay is a little post-modernist for my taste, but it is still a charming film.
1	antitype	76 _66th
I want to like it more, but I find its whimsy quirk mostly gaudy.
1	disturbed	90 _97th
Beautiful and heartwarming. An unpredictable tale of two eccentric outsiders who eventually find their own place in the world.
1	aliceporto	65 _18th
overrated
1	creely	85 _44th
Strange and quirky. A cult movie. But a fun-loving film with a positive thematic message. Very colourful and idiosyncratic characters.
1	misterlizard	98 _99th
Possibly the best movie ever made, and quirky romance most definitely isn't my kind of thing. Everything about this movie, the story, the directing, the performances, comes together to create something truly spellbinding. If you don't like this you have no soul. It has a few minor flaws on repeat viewings, but the enjoyment never fades. Should be in every guy's collection as a date/night-in movie.

The film seemed unsure whether it wanted to be surreal, light-hearted or semi-serious slice-of-life sort of stuff. With this directionless feeling it came off mildly frustrating on the whole.

Amélie might not be a perfect film, but none of its flaws really matter while your watching it -- or after you watch it. It's a film you watch and feel incredible after watching. Every moment is imbued with love, and love and joy is what you feel after it finishes. It doesn't need conflict! It has Audrey Tautou playing a charismatic role in a spectacularly joyous movie. Do you need than that? No. The answer you want is an emphatic "no."

Amazing, quirky romance film. Few films have made me feel so good after watching it. Along with the fun story and characters, the visual style adds so much to the joyousness of this film.

"Fresh from the Jeunet quirk factory comes Amélie, a self-indulgent Montmartre-set fairy tale that's the cinematic equivalent of a dribbling lump of caramel taffy." - Ed Gonzalez

Although the Kitch and Cliche rule "Amélie" with a rod of iron, it is a great movie. It is great because of the hope it succeed to maintain; hope that exists even though you aren't as cute and pretty as Amélie is; exists even though there no single similarity between you and Amélie; exists even though the journey you're about to have is harder. You just know love is going to find you eventually.

Can't base a whole movie about your main actress being cute.

A lovely movie and beautifully filmed and sometimes quite funny too. Audrey Tautou is also really easy to rest your eyes on. Only real drawback is that I didn't care as much for the romance as I would have liked.

Nothing really memorable about this.

Never before have I seen such divide in my Kumpels as to whether this, as described by Holden, constitutes a barrage of crap the patience and resilience of a marathon runner is required for to deal with, or, as described by those who I'd imagined would not like the film at all--eg the often serious drudges and the one with the barren heart, Zewe--is joyous 'n fun. I conclude Amelie is that quantum slit experiment, in which it's shit or fun depending on what state you happened to be and measure i

Amélie is a well-made romp that's sure to divide viewers based on how much whimsy they can stomach.
