The Fifth Element

Haven't watched this one for a while!

Things it reminded me of:
1. Luc Besson sure knows his way around a visual.
2. Bruce Willis' pleasingly surly charisma.
3. How enjoyable Gary Oldman was during that spate of hammily evil villains that he was playing during through the 90s (see also: Air Force One ... by contrast Besson's The Professional, which had the villainy without the hamminess).

Things it made me wonder:
1. Was Milla Jovovich's Leeloo my first MPDG? Does she even count?
