Watched "The 5th Element" again recently. No end to the fun.
Some of my favorite Gary Oldman scenes are in this movie.
A great romantic comedy.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Mine also! But I love all of it..especially Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod, LOL!
It's one of my favorite movies.
Last time it was on Netflix, I watched it several times in a row, and when I was in the US in the 1980s, I had the video and we all used to watch it constantly, falling down laughing.

One of my favorites, too! I love the whole scene around the opera singer and cuts to the 5th Element fight in the apartment.. can watch it over and over!
That is such a good movie for the sci-fi crowd. It's kinda the movie equivalent of the Firefly series. It's weird and great, but if you don't get it you never will.

Firefly! (Sigh)

As usual, a Fox cancellation. Children work at Fox.
Too bad Nathan Fillion is such a dick.
I liked it for the showcase of Jean "Moebius" Giraud's artwork. Scenes looked as if ripped from the pages of Heavy Metal. And Luc Besson has always been a director that I pay attention to.

However, if you are a Robert A. Heinlein fan, you'll see how much the Fifth Element universe copies a typical Heinlein universe, with the flying cabs, tiny automatic apartments, the protagonist having a cat and a bad past romance, his falling for a dangerous, red-haired woman who is more than she seems, funny one-liners, imaginative aliens, etc.
@birdingnut Pretty hand in glove there. A lot of Moebius' works were influenced by Heilein. And, yes I am a fan. Cut my teeth on Revolt in 2100, firmed with Starship Troopers and apexed at Stranger in a Strange Land.

Sci-fi romcom but still ultimately a romcom
@LadyAlyxandrea I've never seen it that way. Absurdist SciFi, sure.
RomCom seems beneath it.
Enjoy being online again!
