Hey guys! I wanted to get this to you 2 days ago but I accidentally deleted the outro and had to wait for Carly to come back over so we could re-record it! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Hope you guys enjoy! We are watching this on my DVD player and I believe the length of the movie is 2h2m for those who need help finding the right copy. 

Also just a quick update.. I'll have Dances With Wolves (the theatrical version) up tomorrow night and Spirited Away on Sunday! Thanks as always for being here - you guys are the best!

Direct link in case the above player doesn't work.

Can't wait until I have a couple of hours to devote to this one. I've been waiting for Amelie since I first recommnded way back when! One of the main reasons I subscribed, LOL Such a wonderful film and one of my all-time favorites. I hope you love it.

Fun fact: Some viewers may recognize Nino from The Fifth Element... he had a landscape of a hallway attached to his head ;)

Amélie... I love this movie and not because I am French! An unpretentious movie that had a fabulous destiny (like the title in French the fabulous destiny of amelie poulain!) little anecdote : First thought for Emily Watson, the script changed completely because of incompatibility of schedules and a French not enough mastered for the needs of the film. As a result, Jean-Pierre Jeunet agreed to consider the profile of the young Audrey Tautou. Thank you Emily Watson... :D Great reaction Cassie and Carly, a second viewing and the pronunciation of "au revoir" will be perfect ;)

Oh crap...when I heard her say she was watching this, I was thinking of Emelie...bit of a difference, I guess, eh?

A big part of the appeal for me is visual. The art direction is so original and beautiful that each frame could be a photograph.

I first saw Amelie in the theater nearly 20 years ago, on the advice of my then-boss. I didn't know what to expect, he basically just said it was weird and described the death by suicide-jumper moment at the beginning. But I was immediately enthralled by it. First by its fairy tale-like whimsy and sense of humor, then the incredible eye for the little details that make each personality so distinct and precious. And finally for the absurd amount of detail and art design - including computer animation - which I had never seen before in any movie that wasn't a big-budget action/adventure or prestige drama. Amelie isn't some pretentious art film, it's just a frivolous rom-com. But unlike frivolous American rom-coms, which all look the same, all shot in the same style with the same standard Hollywood 3-point lighting... here was an airy little comedy made with endless love and care and imagination all the same. As if to say the little things can still be beautiful. Which is, of course, what the story itself is all about. I'd gone to a midday showing, and was surprised to see it was still daylight as I exited the dark theater. I walked out into the sunlight with the joyous music still in my head feeling like a million bucks, and immediately went to Tower Records to buy the soundtrack. And since then I've had a new appreciation for what the movies are capable of.

another great foreign film is Waltz with Bashir , possibly the best war movie Ive ever seen . its about recovering lost memories from the Israel Lebanese war . the ending might be to horrific for Cassie . it shows actual atrocities that happened . still if you are a fan of great films , Waltz with Bashir

Cassie you mentioned rewatching this a few times. I hope you do. In the first few years after its release I saw it like five times. It was so different from anything I’d ever seen, it was almost like I needed to understand it better. It also helps that it’s visually intoxicating and Audrey Tatou is so cute and quirky. Paris is also like another character. If you haven’t been, it’s really that charming and beautiful (though in real life it’s more crowded, has more tourists, and is dirtier… but amazing nonetheless). It’s far from perfect - I find some of the French humor not funny/sophomoric at times (I lived in France for a few years, which only reenforced that perception), the end is almost tediously drawn out, and other parts of our are a bit slow. That said it’s still one of my favorite films. You should watch it again, with for the channel, or for fun. Maybe with your husband (though I can’t imagine you’d have time for that!)

Loving your Amélie! Can’t find a digital copy, but I remember enough to enjoy your reactions. Thank you!

Audrey Toutou also plays in a movie with Tom Hanks ..
