Amelie's great. Check out _A Very Long Engagement_ and _Dirty Pretty Things_ for two other good Tautou movies.

Liberty's Edge

Pretty much love everything by the director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, particularly Amelie and Delicatessen. Amelie and A Very Long Engagement are probably the most "normal" movies he has done...most get pretty zany.


Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain is one of my top five films. I watched it when I came out, and have watched it about twice a year since.

It is a mystery to me how it is there are adults that have not yet seen it. :D

Oh, and how many people are having an orgasm right now?

If you're French - the way it's spelled, of course. ;)

If you were Swedish I'd describe it as Tåto - with short å and a long o. :p

But since I'm guessing you'd prefer an English approximation I'd say the "au" is pronounced as in "tall" (supposing you don't speak a dialect where this is pronounced very clipped) and ou as the "o" in "hold" or "morning."


I'm french (canadian)... I always pronounced it Tow-two (Tow as in tow truck, and two as in the number two).

And yes, it's a real gem of a movie. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone...

This movie is my favorite non-anime based foreign film.
