Amelie (2001)
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain
Impish gamine Amélie (Audrey Tautou) lives alone and works in a café. When she finds a trove of toys hidden for 40 years behind a baseboard in her apartment, she's inspired to repatriate the items, an impulse of generosity that sparks more benevolent acts. A celebration of life, Amélie reminds us of the small wonders that abound around us … if only we paused to look.
Starring: Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, More
Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet


& possibly As Good as It Gets (1997)

But Melvin's structured world crumbles when his gay neighbor (Greg Kinnear) needs a dog sitter, and only longtime antagonist Melvin will fill the bill. …
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear, Cuba Gooding Jr., Skeet Ulrich

A review written for the Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange
by Virginia Wagner

In the fall of 1959, Alan Lomax traveled throughout the state of Mississippi and recorded the songs contained on Volume 3 of the Alan Lomax Collection: Southern Journey. Calling it "the land where blues began," he recorded the various styles of African-American music he found there in the 1930s.
