Amélie (2001)

This is an okay French movie. Amélie (Audrey Tautou) is a painfully shy waitress working at a tiny Paris café. One day while at home she makes a surprising discovery of a small box from the 1950s hidden inside of her wall. She sets out to find the man who left it there. Because of his enthusiastic response, she decides to bring happiness to others. However, she struggles to be fulfilled in her own life, but when she chances upon an attractive stranger she must decide whether to pursue a relationship with him.

The original French title is translated as "The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain." The story is set in the hill district of Montmartre in Paris. The Café des 2 Moulins ("Two Windmills") is located at the junction of Rue Lepic and Rue Cauchois. It takes its name from the two nearby historical windmills, Moulin Rouge and Moulin de la Galette. The ABC television show Pushing Daisies was inspired by this film. The first known case of the traveling gnome prank was mentioned in the Sydney Morning Herald in 1986.
