I remember being pleasantly surprised by the story when I first saw it in the theaters. It was one of the movies where I had low expectations going in. Still one of my favorites for rainy day watching.

I love Milla Jovovich in this movie. Something about her orange hair is very appealing.

I think Leeloo is just about the sexiest sci-fi chick ever. (Next to, of course, Princess Leia in her metal bikini.)

Yep – “Le Cinqième Elément” was a blast. If it had been directed by a big name dood (instead of the quirky, though genial, Besson) and marketed “à l’americaine”, it would have been a blockbuster. And YES Júlia, you are right – the Fifth Element is quite clearly “LOVE” … the love that will hold the world together with, and despite, the other four elements.

I’m a Brazilian English teacher and I’m interested in working with movies in order to have my students be in contact with the language. Well, I’m a fan of Bruce Willis, hehe… and because of that I entered here to write a comment. In a nutshell, this movie lets us a message about love – hard to find nowadays… Sorry if I’m being kind of romantic, but I believe it (love) is possible, not just between a couple, but for everyone.

A long time fan of Luc Besson since seeing La Femme Nikta, I loved this movie. The whole movie is a Sci Fi farce.

I loved Gary Oldman in the Professional (which is honestly a much more serious film), but his turn as Zorg is amazing. He is a psychotic cross of Elmer Fudd, Gordon Gekko, and Shannon (Christopher Walken’s character in Dogs of War).

Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod always lays me low. He is so much better in this movie than in Rush Hour.

I agree – a total romp with alot of what-next gags (the “junk” food vendor? I still snigger at it) And the sound track is pretty awesome too
