The most charming movie award of all time goes to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie (in france known as Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain). I was fortunate enough to experience this genius work of art today and I'm still grinning with giddy satisfaction over they joyous feeling it left me with. It was so enchanting - I didn't want to leave the theater. And when I did have to leave, I wanted to immediately get right back in line and see it again as not to lose the magical feeling it left me with - it's the kind of feeling that you wish you could bottle up and carry with you forever. The film is simply sublime. The part of Amélie is played by the equally enchanting Audrey Tautou, who, in the opinion of this humble robot, is by far, the most charming and beautiful actress since the infallible Audrey Hepburn. Run, don't walk to see this film. It will change your life.
