Amelie makes it on to this list as one of the only romance comedies, and to be honest, i think its one of the only romance comedies or even romance movies in my collection of over 300+ films, and yet, it makes it on to my list of the 100 hundred greatest films of all time. So you must be wondering why after that introduction , and when writing the list i asked myself the same question. What is it about Amelie that is so mesmerizing and beautiful? is it the perfect script with its quirky snippets of Amelie's self conscious and humanity? is it the beautiful cinematography and camera work? is it the depth of each and every character in the film and how you feel like you know someone o so very similar to all of them? is it the balance of what is right and wrong and how the innocent and pure get what they deserve? listing all this pretty much answered my question, of course this is a masterpiece, i could watch this film blind and still love it to death, or vise versa i could watch it deaf and be dazzled!

But there was something else to this film, something that kept me thinking and smiling for days after? i couldn't put my finger on it up until the point i just couldn't resist another viewing. I think the films true beauty lies in its heart and passion to its motive. The film, or rather the director and the whole crew really believe in what was portrayed through Amelie, which ends up leaving every viewer feeling just a little bit better about themselves. The film grabs you by the hand and never lets go till the credits roll, and its just one of those films that, even without action, even without big explosions and car chases and helicopter battles with missiles and bombs and guns and fire and smoke, that can keep you on the edge of your seat rooting for everything that Amelie does, and laughing everytime Amelie does something noble or good. A film that has you wanting to know Amelie and be friends with her just because of her personality.

You might think this sounds a bit soppy, a 17 year old boy on the edge of his seat when Amelie leads the guy she fancies on a sort of easter egg hunt through the city of love. Well you know what, i dont bloody care this film is freckin awesome! and i haven't even mentioned how funny it is, ive seen many comedies, and i think to myself while i set through a screening of 'Epic Movie' that with all the apparently hilarious scenes in this film, i laughed harder at a film in a language i couldn't even understand! it just shows how a real script, with heart and passion, go alot futher then somebody falling over alot...
