Earlier this year I thought I'd do another
special list since it is fun to immerse yourself in the world of one director.
It took me a while due to trouble finding some of them, but this time I decided
to watch all films by Jean Pierre Jeunet. One of Jeunet's films, Amelie,
has been in my top ten for twenty years now. It's that old already? Oh my. This
was an excellent excuse to re-watch it and all his other great
stories. Here's the complete list of all Jeunet's feature films, followed
by my rankings:
- Delicatessen (1991)
- The City of Lost Children (1995)
- Alien Resurrection (1997)
- Amélie (2001)
- A Very Long Engagement (2004)
- Micmacs (2009)
- The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet (2013)
#1 Amelie (2001)

Yes, it's still my favorite.

Micmacs is such a close second to Amelie. This film is brilliant!
