'Amelie'
A voice-over was used to explain the narrative from time to time throughout the film. Although at times this seemed irrelevant (such as when explaining when a man had learned something from a newspaper) it provided a useful insight into the life of Amelie, which I found interesting. Props were used extensively during the film and were also used to pull the narrative along and link events together (such as the photographs), which I also liked.
'American Beauty'
Although becoming cringe-worthy whenever Kevin Spacey's character has thoughts of his daughter's friend, this film turned out to have a rather enjoyable storyline - A man, clearly going through a mid-life crises, who decides to stand up and say he's tired of the fake, generic ways of what 'family' life should be like and re-invent himself. Spacey's neutral tone of voice during his voice overs also provided an element of humor, describing the misery of his life, but sounding like it's just part of the routine.
