"Amelie"

Tell me you didn't love this film. Superbly French.

He who reaps the wind sows the tempo...

Amelie was directed by the Alien: Resurrection director. And it really shows!

Just kidding. It's very worth a watch, French or not.

It's all about MC Solaar, and Tryo.

Thought Amelie was pretty overrated really. Good, but not great.

Il Postino was great though - not French, but similar to that style of cinema.

Taxi's entertaining as mindless fun...

which isn't a bad thing.. :-)

Amelie is a great film. And if you want another great French film, rent out Taxi. It's seriously funny with great car chases.

I've just got back from two weeks of Francesville. They're stranger than I could have ever imagined. Anyone care for a bit of French pop music, with accordion as lead instrument???

Seen that too, is good.

Meka, Amelie is French but not Alan Partridge French. I mean, they talk French and it's set in Paris, but there are no onions in it, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any people going o-hi-ho-hi-ho.

It's great, a real *gulp* feel-good movie.

If you like weird french films Mr Snuggly, go rent out "Delicatessen."

A excellent reason then not to watch it. :-) (curse you Meka, beat me to it)

That is the reason I cannot bring myself to watch it.

What is it about, a bunch of blokes with thin moustaches and berets riding around Paris on a bicycle with onions around their necks, wearing blue and white stripey t-shirts, going ho-hi-ho-hi-ho-hi-ho?

Actually, I'm not sure where that image of France comes from.

Back to the film. I might watch it one day if it's on at a convenienvt time, but I shalln't go out of my way to watch it.

Yea it's weird but fantastic.
