Amelie

[razerfish]

Thought it was interesting during the first 20 minutes, then was bored with it. Great camera work, though. Just didn't care for the story.

What's the deal with this movie? You look on IMDB and people you'd think the movie could cure cancer or something. One noodnick actually declared that viewing this movie will absolutely change your life. I always find people that believe such things to be a little touched in the head.

Anyway, did anyone else find this movie to be overrated, or did it 'change your lives' as well?

[refriedwhiskey]

I fell somewhere in the middle. It didn't change my life, but I do think it's a great, great movie.

[Bad Liver]

Not life changing, but very good and inspiring from a technical standpoint.

Why can't more movies (comedies, especially) be more visually daring?!

[habronic]

i loved it, but it wasn't a life changing experience. most people i turn on to it really enjoy it.

and audrey tautou is hot.

[rockridesva]

Same. Thought it was a great film, and turned it on to several others who thought the same. Did my life change immediately afterwards? No. But a pretty good film on all levels none the less. And yeah, Audrey Tatou is HOT.

[Hairy Lime]

This film did change my life.




I became an Audrey Tatou stalker.

[Jake Schuster]

I know Audrey personally. She's been concerned about this guy who keeps following her. I'll give her bodyguard your number.

[Hairy Lime]

My kingdom for an introduction.

[vmf]

My kingdom for an introduction.

You'll have to beat up "Ross" first. :p

[Charli]

The gnome. It's all about the gnome and his travels.

Charli

[whistlelock]

Great film. Life changing? No. and yes, it's all about the gnome.

THIS MOVIE IS A SHINING EXAMPLE WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE AGREE TO BE INVOLVED IN ONE OF THOSE "HOLIDAY POT LUCK BUY PRESENTS FOR PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW VERY WELL SECRET SANTA" THINGIES.

I wish a camera was rolling when I opened up my "Secret Santa" gift to stare at the DVD version of Amelie.

"Thanks. Thank you very much."

My holiday season was ruined.

[Hairy Lime]

more proof.

A slam from Billy is often a recommendation to the rest of us.

(sorry billy.)

[Biohazard]

25th greatest movie of all time? No way in hell. 225 or 325 maybe, but 25? Whoever believes that needs their head examined.

[refriedwhiskey]

Where does that come from?

[Hairy Lime]

IMDB Top 250 list. (http://www.imdb.com/chart/top)

[refriedwhiskey]

imdb. pshaw. they're good for information on cast and crew, but i can't imagine paying any attention to their top 250. it's probably even less authoritative than amazon.com's bestselling DVD list.

(sorry billy.)

no prob.

[Jake Schuster]

I became an Audrey Tatou stalker.

Well, that's a relief to Mlle. Tautou. :D

[Hairy Lime]

pedantic old f-ck.

[errorhead]

i liked this one....funny...in a different kinda way...a little less narration would've made it better for me i guess. definitely a recommend to friends!

[Jake Schuster]

Just think, Hairy. One day someone may refer to you as Hairy Lice.

For a slip of a finger...

[Hairy Lime]

misspelling is not mispronunciation.

[Jake Schuster]

Oh yeah? "Tatou" sounds very different in French from "Tautou".

Tahtoo; Tawtoo.

So there, Hairy Lice!

[Hairy Lime]

I'll blame my lack of morning coffee ...


and a disdain for French.

[Jake Schuster]

Then you'd might as well just forget about Audrey Tautou. :)

[Hairy Lime]

To use one of my favorite movie quotes, "Who's talkin' about talkin'?"

[Jake Schuster]

So you mean you'll offer her a postcoital, "I detest the French"?

Monsieur Lice, tu es fou! Tu m'entends?! Je dit fou! :eek:

[Hairy Lime]

I don't detest the French. I disdain French.

She speaks Engrish.

[Jake Schuster]

Next time we get together, Hairy, I'm speaking ONLY French. ;)

[Hairy Lime]

You're also picking up the tab, but that won't be anything new.

[WordzNPicturez]

Amelie is an amazing film. I don't care what you say, it is. And no, it isn't about the gnome, at all. It's about Amelie. It's not called 'Gnome' now, is it?

[billythrilly7]

Or Gnomelie.

[English Dave]

She speaks Engrish.

Sure she's not Japanese?

[Hairy Lime]

Possibly Korean.

[WordzNPicturez]

Or Gnomelie.

Or A-Gnomelie! :rolling:

Sorry, sorry.

[Authorized]

This film did change my life. I became an Audrey Tatou stalker.

Her worldwide breakout movie star role is forthcoming in The DaVinci Code.

Psssst. Limey. They're filming in Paris right now....

[whitenavel]

Happy Birthday Audrey!

[Biohazard]

Happy Birthday Audrey!

And happy birthday me.
