Amelie (the flim)

In ‘Amelie’ the film directed by Jeunet you could observe a serious of characters defined (or at least better illustrated) by their collections/taxonomy.
Amelie herself finds an archive left behind in her flat by a small boy; the other main character collects torn up passports photos and photos footprints in wet cement: a girl from the café collects proverbs (and judges others on their own knowledge of them). The film starts by listing the characters’ likes and dislikes.
