20th Anniversary: The Fifth Element
They are doing a limited, two day, theatrical release of the 4K remastered version of the movie in May. Just pre-ordered the tickets. It will be a good Mother's Day in the Krav household Cool

I still remember seeing this in the theater when it came out. I can't believe it was 20 years ago.

To this day, my buddies and I still say, "Aziz! Lights!" whenever lighting is an issue.

Ah Gary Oldman at his finest...

I think he eclipses his roles in Sid and Nancy, and even Batman.

Agreed, but not in The Professional. I think that may have been his best.

That's funny. We do the same thing with anything that resembles a "multipass".

Wow....
20 years? Really?

I remember seeing it but I think I rented it from Blockbuster or Hollywood video.

I know I didn't see it in the theater.
I may have to this go round.

He is at his best playing a Monster. Dracula, Lawless, Book of Eli, True Romance, the Professional. Great actor.

Good grief. Twenty years? I saw it in the theatre not more than 8-10 years ago, I swear. Where does the time go?



Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.
