The Fifth Element (1997)

Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero--what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson's high-octane film incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens.

Like Star Wars and Blade Runner, 'The Fifth Element' creates a vivid, vibrant, and breathtaking vision of the future, with so many wondrous sights to behold, so many fine details to absorb, that it is possible to get distracted by images one might spot in the background. The plot is preposterous in this Luc Besson foray...

A trippy-awesome mind-f*ck through a future where people live in tiny little apartments, there are various cults and Milla Jovovich kicks serious ass.
This film never takes itself too seriously and that is what makes it work.
Luc Besson casts Tricky as a minion of Gary Oldman in some kind of f*cked up Jean-Peal Gaultier...
