Everything Amelie - But oh So Hard to Find Online!

So you (or someone you know) fell in love with the beautiful French movie "Amelie" and adore the quirky and cute wall art, talking pig lamp, the traveling garden gnome and/or the beautiful photo booth picture journal in the film (but aren't sure where to find these items for yourself or to give as a gift for the Amelie-lover in your life).

This lens is dedicated to helping you find hard to find Amelie items. Some items you will only find on Amazon France or Amazon Germany. You'll also get some great ideas for creating your own unique photo booth gifts from scratch.

I've also included scans and more information on a great Amelie collector's book that has very detailed maps to help you tour Amelie filming spots in Paris as a tourist.

2011 Wall Calendar Featuring Art from the Film Amelie

Michael Sowa

Amelie Art CalendarYou can get all the wall art from the movie "Amelie" if you purchase this 2011 Wall Calendar featuring art from Michael Sowa (the artist that did the goose and the dog prints on Amelie's bedroom). It's a little pricey, but you'd pay just as much for individual prints of the goose with pearls and dog picture from Amelie's bedroom scene.

Hardcover Collector's Book - Le Fabuleux Album d'Amélie Poulain
This is a beautifully made French hardbound book. My sister got me a copy for Christmas. I can't read a word of it, but I love to look at all the pictures. The link with take you to Amazon in the USA (but there aren't any pictures available. If you go to Amazon.fr you can see more details. This book has many maps if you're wanting to go see the film's tourist spots in Paris. I've posted a scan of one of the maps here if you're curious.
Amelie's Pig Lamp
I have only found this lamp at Amazon.de. It is just adorable though. I'll keep my eyes open if it pops up anywhere in the US though!

Okay, so this one isn't hard to find - but if you don't own it you should! It's a great movie, over and over and over again.
Amelie Blu-ray
Need the Blu-ray version?
Amelie Sountrack
The soundtrack isn't hard to get your hands on either, but it's wonderfully done. One of my all time favorites.

Pendant made of two 1" buttons with ball chain wrapped around the seam with photos of Amelie. Ships from Amazon.
Gold Frame
Here is the gold frame shown in my collage above.

Doubble Page Spread from Le Fabuleux Album d'Amélie Poulain

The scan pictured above didn't come out perfect because it's a double page spread from Le Fabuleux Album d'Amélie Poulain... I love how it breaks down exactly where Amelie and Nino walked in the film! So I suggest you snag your own copy of Le Fabuleux Album d'Amélie Poulain before departing for Paris so that you too can enjoy all the Amelie tourist spots. You can also go to this tourist webpage to learn more about the sites in the Amelie film.

Inexpensive, Romantic Amelie Inspired Photo Booth Gifts

Give a Personalized Photo Booth Strip as a Gift

Amelie Photo Booth PhotosA fairly inexpensive gift (not to mention a great keepsake and fun one to create) would be your own photo booth photo set.

Step 1 - It's hard to find a good old fashioned photo booth these days (most of them are digital and print out on paper, instead of the old fashioned 4 strip photos). However, this link has a list of current photo booths on a Google map.

Step 2 - Get some props for some great photos (like the googely-eyed magnified nerd glasses, Zorro mask and cape Amelie used) and stuff them in a backpack or purse so that you can easily take them out inside the photo booth to take some photos.

Step 3 - Go and have fun!! Even if you're taking photos by yourself, you're doing it for someone you care about or love. If it's for a significant other - be sexy and flirty and but most of all always be creative!! The more creative you are, the better the photo strip will be!

Amelie Inspired Journal and Photo Booth Projects

For the Truly Obsessed

ameliejournals - community project
In 2004 several people started their own Amelie Inspired journals.
nervousness.org
I participated in a few great photo booth collaboration journals on the nervousness.org community. Look and see if you can find a current one to participate in, or start one yourself!
1000 journals
This isn't exactly Amelie inspired, but about 10 years ago 1000 journals were sent out to see what people would do with them. Very interesting and there's even an indie film about them now!

    Amelie is such a fun film!! I think you'll be surprised the doc never mentioned it!! She might be working on leaving her ego behind.
