Amélie or Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain ("The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain") is a 2001 romantic comedy flick directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

The film was an international co-production between companies in France and Germany.
Amélie won best film at the European Film Awards; it won four César Awards (including Best Film and Best Director), two BAFTA Awards (including Best Original Screenplay), and was nominated for five Academy Awards.
The film stars two of today's most outstanding actors in France: Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz.
