Appearance: Amélie (2001)
Creator: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Performer: Flora Guiet, Audrey Tautou
Defining moment: Upon Amélie finding the photo album of lost postcards, the narrator gives the perfect summation of Amélieness: “Any normal girl would call the number, meet him, return the album and see if her dream is viable. It’s called a reality check. The last thing Amélie wants.”
Fascinating fact: There is a species of South American frog — Cochranella amelie — named after the impish Parisian.
