16. Amelie
Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amelie is a movie that takes its time to tell every detail. Can you imagine anyone other than the 23-year-old Audrey Tautou playing the role of the whimsical, innocent Amelie? She has her own sense of judgment, her own sense of love and independence, a character with so much individuality, so powerfully and simply played that the moment I hear anyone say ‘Amelie’, Audrey Tautou comes to mind. It is irreplaceable.
