Amelie Soundtrack. Go accordians!!! It's infinitely inspiring to me, with the myriad of unique layered sounds in each track. It's also pretty distinctly "French" sounding and reminds me of the movie...which is one of my favorite movies and inspiring for other reasons....so lotsa reasons. But I find it a marvel of sound every time I listen to it.

Amelie is one of my all time favorite movies. At the time it came out, I was a film projectionist at an arthouse cinema and I watched it at least 7 times. Such an amazing movie.
I occasionally play bits and pieces of the soundtrack on my radio show on Friday nights.
I also recommend Delicatessen and City of Lost Children, also directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, if you haven't yet already seen them.
