...plays his love interest in Johnny Stecchino too?! This might have something to do with Nicoletta being Roberto’s real life wife. They met on the set of ‘Tu mi turbi’ (1983) and married in 1991. Well onto the story. Benigni plays Dante, a school bus driver who is a simple soul. He ferries handicapped kids around in his yellow vehicle, making their journeys fun by singing to them.

The movie stars Mike Myers and deals with the story of a "Hindu" love guru tasked to save the marriage of a Toronto Mapleleafs hockey player before it eventually ruins the team's chances of winning the Stanley Cup.

Amelie is one of my all time favourite movies. This is one of the best visual movies I have saw. Amelie played by Audrey Tatou. This is a heart warming story of a young french girl who decides to go on a number of missions to bring a little happyness to a number of people. The opening part of the movie is one of my favourite parts as it introduces us to the main characters and shows all their likes and dislikes in a quirky and beautiful way. I never ... Read review
