Events kick off in a café with Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer holding up the staff and customers. They're hardly as scary though as hitmen John Travolta and the bible-quoting Samuel L Jackson whom appear in the next scene. They form the thread of the movie that allows for a wonderful selection of related stories to unravel, with Christopher Walken and a measured Bruce Willis putting in fine performances. This movie is great and a must-see. (via Rose Poirier)

Amélie

Description

I have to join the legions of fans of this movie. Is it realistic? Probably not - and it's set in a Paris that probably never existed (modern day one, but more classic 'French').

Still, the creativity and sheer beauty of this movie is bound to make an impact. It tells the tale of Amélie Poulain (played wonderfully by Audrey Tautou), a shy waitress in Paris, who decides to help others with small, unidentifiable acts of kindness. A bit of a romance, as she must choose whether to help herself and be happy.

The entire film just bursts with creativity and beauty, and boast impressive and fitting cinematography. There are so many allegorical scenes and even laugh out loud bits. It will make your day a little happier yet may also make you cry at times.

The soundtrack is perfect, a wonderful and very French sound. It was composed by Yann Tiersen and adds enormously to the film. I recommend checking out his albums for somewhat alternative, often stunning, and always creative music.

A fantastic movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Heath Ledger's stellar performance as The Joker feels real and completely terrifying. This is one Batman movie that will definitely frighten small children.

I love watching this movie, it is one of the few movies I believe can be watched repeatedly without ever getting bland. The Beatles capture the height of Beatlemania in this film and let the audience get to know them better as people and musicians.
