10 Movies You Won’t Believe Are Turning 20 In 2021
9. Amélie
It’s almost impossible not to love Amélie. An absolute comfort blanket of a movie, it oozes charm from its warm colour palette to its adorably introverted leading lady. Set in the picturesque Paris, it focuses on the titular character and her own fantasises of love and beauty.
A one of a kind girl, Amélie is shy and quiet who enjoys the simple pleasures of life. Always putting others before herself, she seems to naturally bring joy wherever she goes. This quaint film resonates with so many and has continued to do so because it's wholesome and pure, woven with romance and love, and yet never tries too hard to be sweet and emotive.
You would never be able to tell it was made twenty years ago - it's the unique beauty and the easy going nature of Amélie which has ultimately made her story a timeless, feel-good classic.
