this is high in the running for my favorite movie. i love how the character amelie is an adult, but she still has the best of childhood. a lot goes on in the movie, but essentially it's about her finding Nino Quincompoix (that dude down there) who shares this same mentality. 
the movie is french. so it's all in french. so you gotta read subtitles. it's worth it.
amelie is a waitress in a cute little bar/restaurant where the old female bartender (who limps but has never spilled a drink) gives the failed writer free food, and nino works in a porn shop (weird huh?) and spends his spare time digging under photobooths for ripped up pictures to put together and collect. it's such a sweet story. the soundtrack is phenomenal, as well as all the acting. overall amelie is an amazing movie, and i would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recomend it to ANYONE over 11.
lately my nights are hell. i cannot sleep at ALL. like last night, i was hot sweaty and sticky, but then if i took the covers off i got cold... i was getting so pissed. i hate hate hate it. and the worst part is there's absolutely nothing i can do about it, can't take sleeping meds, or even like tylenol, and most of the time my parents are pretty unsympathetic... so i just lay there... and stare at the ceiling... and the same thoughts circle around and around... and when i finally fall asleep i'm so wiped that i sleep really late in the morning so then i feel gross and sluggish all day long, until night when i won't be able to sleep again. and that my friends, is what you would call a vicious cycle.
