I used to adore Amelie, I find it a bit cloying now. I'd probably suggest if we were going for beautiful, I might suggest 'Singing in the Rain', the title song alone is one of the most lovely pieces of film ever, that feeling of a weight off the mind that you can't help celebrating, whatever anybody else is doing. It's magic.

"To sir with love" because it was a breaking out for black people in the world to be able to be seen as respectful, but also seen as potentially dateable by white people. That was a big thing back when i was a child.

To Sir, With Love - final

An enormous hit in its time, this relatively simple and sentimental story of a teacher's seemingly miraculous ability to change his unruly students for the better is sustained by Sidney Poitier's powerful performance. He stars as a Caribbean native who finds himself working in a rundown secondary school in London's tough East End. Quickly realizing that his rebellious students need to learn self-discipline and survival skills more than anything they can find in a book, he acts accordingly. There are few actors of the first rank who have so completely embodied integrity and strength of character as has Sidney Poitier, and it is through this combination of qualities that he almost makes one believe in the rather fanciful premise of the film. But, with the exception of Pamela (Judy Geeson), the script provides the students with little in the way of characterization, as well as insisting on the patronizing notion that good manners will provide the solution to most of their problems. While the young actors are reasonably adequate, they're badly overmatched in any scene with Poitier. His ability to bring a character vibrantly to life, with all the nuances of anger, tenderness, humor, and thought at his disposal, is reason enough to see this film. ~

Monk raises a child on a hut out in the middle of a lake surrounded by forest... He grows up, runs off to seek material pleasure, comes crawling back... The story spans the man's entire life. It's amazing. Excellent cinematography too
