Wong Kar Wai, Wong Kar Wai!! He is super aces, and his direction paired with Christopher Doyle's color schemes = sex for your eyes! And not the cheap motel kind, either, this is classy, frilly-garters-and-champagne kind of eye sex. Chungking Express and In the Mood For Love are my personal favorites, hellaaa recommended.
Danny Boyle's style is also really great, he has that crazy spastic camera technique that Baz Luhrmann uses, but to a lesser extent. Everyone loves Trainspotting of course, but I think 28 Days Later is really underappreciated! The 'abandoned London' scenes in that movie are brilliant and wonderful and YES. Also, his soundtracks are always superrr, and not overrated like dumb old (but loveable!) Zach Braff's.
And just because you said you liked Amelie, I think you should check out Jeux D'enfants (USA: Love Me If You Dare). It's been called Amelie's ugly stepsister (by dumb reviewers who know squat and can only use the one other French movie they know!). Lovvellyyy cinematography, darker and more cynical than Amelie but ultimately uplifting in an 'against-all-odds, true-love!' sort of way.

He loves me he loves me not, is also a good Tautou movie.

I realize I've already mentioned it.. but I watched it again last night and am currently on an Ikiru high.
Ikiru is such a brilliant movie.... Kurosawa is an utterly brilliant film maker and this to me sits atop all his other work as his crowning achievement. I've never watched a movie that made me have such an intense emotional response, and it doesn't dim with subsequent viewings.
So go watch it.. because it makes you better. I promise.

The Usual Suspects
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Batteries Not Included
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

The Big Lebowski
Desperado
Harold and Maude
Time Bandits
Fight Club
12 Monkeys

Grosse Pointe Blank (John Cusack and Dan Akroyd in hitman romantic comedy? Me likey)
Layer Cake (Guy Ritchie-esque British crime movie)

Dead Alive (aka Brain Dead ... the greatest knowingly-silly gore-fest ever)
