I'm just sat watching The Fifth Element on ITV. It's a classic film, it's just a shame that so many people don't get it and think it's a bit tacky pile of crap. These people are wrong. Fact is, The Fifth Element is a 20th Century classic. The film has brilliant casting, amazing direction, great music (listen to the score when Dallas shoves the army blokes in the fridge, it's simple but adds a subtle flavour to the scene) and the set's and costumes are beyond belief.

The thing about the Fifth Element is that it's enjoyable to watch, unlike films like The Matrix, Starwars etc I can sit through this film time and time again without getting bored and each time I watch it I notice something new that I havent heard before. Why? because it's brilliantly simple. No complex twists, technobabble or hidden depths. Just pure stylish sci-fi, just like it's supposed to be.

Shall I tell you how much I love this film? I want my first born daughter to be named Leeloo. (I know it looks daft, but say it a few times… it grows on you!).
