Trivia:
During the film a Volkswagen "New Beetle" appears, although the car was not in production at the time Amelie should live (that would be August 1997 according to newspapers reporting the death of Lady Diana). Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet said he kept it as it fit perfectly with the mood of the film. more

It is the best film i've ever seen.Only the French could make films as good as this. Amélie explores the trivial things in life and it brings you to some realisations of your own in that our lives are so simple and we only need the simplest of things to keep us happy. Amélie is a must for anyone
