It didn't even make IMDb's top 250!

It's a total shock to me. One could think, it's a French movie, French movies don't have such a wide audience outside French speaking countries hence blah blah blah. BUT - BUT - BUT - AMELIE POULAIN COMES 42nd! (all caps alert: I'm really upset). It's not that I positively hate Amélie Poulain, it's a nice little movie, just... 42nd, WTF people??? And Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, 199th? La Belle et la Bête, 190th - OK, this one is justified, Josette Day is irritating as hell but it's still a great movie.

... no *beep*... Amélie Poulain???

[Edit: now that I've read a few threads, I get it slightly better. And I'm somewhat relieved other people feel like me.

... no *beep*... Pirate of the Caribbean???]

it needs a little more than 10,000 votes as of now

so many movies, so little time

I've just seen this for the first time. Beautifully shot & acted but very slow. I can see why it might not appeal to a modern audience.

I think it has ~ 15,000 votes but films need 25,000 to be eligible for the Top 250. As it has a score of 8.4 it would certainly be high up the 250 if it had more votes.
