Amélie is probably the most beautiful screenplay ever written, not to mention my favourite fictional character of all time. Oh, I’m making big statements today. It’s a feel-good movie that somehow escaped my list! (Thank you for bringing that to my attention in the comments section).
One of the (many) things I loved about this movie was how characters were introduced by their likes and dislikes. It’s often how we’re taught to introduce ourselves when, say, learning a new language, but rarely how things go in real life. I can’t ever recall a time when I’ve said “Hello my name is Thelma and I enjoy reading, watching tennis and going for long bike rides’.
In the movie, Amélie likes dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking creme brulée with a teaspoon and skipping stones in St. Martin’s canal.
It’s funny how much those little things that make us happy can reveal about us.
Have you seen Amélie? It’s so lovely, really!

Adore this movie...have it at home here :) I like the little things in life too, the putting your hands in grains is something I like to do, the feeling is quite nice and weird at the same time!! I think the little stuff is what makes life better and happier :) x

I like your big statements. This movie is a winner, and the travel gnome really caught on!
I also LOVE dipping my hands in large bins of grain. Or large bins of anything, really. hahaha
Coffee beans work better I think!
Amelie is one of my all time favorite movies too!!!!! I need to see it again. Maybe I should own it. . .
I love it!
I just realized that it's been so long since I've seen the movie!? I think I should watch it again.
And the 'little things' philosophy is my philosophy. :)
I adore this movie!
I talk way too much about it on my facebook, always sharing photos with quotes from the film...it's marvelous.. I have probably watched it a hundred times and still find new favorite details of it...:)
