Of all the movies I've seen in the theater, the one I have the fondest memory for is The Fifth Element. I remember being absolutely blown away when I saw it, and because of that, it is my absolute favorite sci-fi movie. I love it like most people love Star Wars or The Matrix. Over the years, it's become a source for a lot of memes
but I say to that
This movie was visionary and astounding. Along with Starship Troopers, was like the last hurrah of the campy, technicolor, overwrought space opera (which is especially great, since half of the movie takes place in an opera house.) To me, it is a timeless movie, and like Leeloo herself,
It was an instant classic, and thanks to its uniqueness, it will never lose that status.
But enough of my fanboy gushing.
For its 20th anniversary, The Fifth Element is coming back to theaters for a very limited run! It's like the best birthday present I could ask for! Here's a link to the event page, to find a theater showing it. This is a movie meant to be seen on a big screen with theater sound. If you love sci-fi, and you have the opportunity to see it, DO IT!
