The Fifth Element
1997
****
Director: Luc Besson
Cast: Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, Chris Tucker
In the 23rd century a cab driver saves a humanoid girl and becomes inadvertently involved in saving the rest of the world. Luc Besson's science fiction parody is wacky, hilarious and beautifully (over)designed. Milla Jovovich is wonderful in the female lead.
