I don't know why, but every time I see this replayed on t.v., I must watch!

What's wrong w/ me ?

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Same thing that's wrong with me, apparently. Doesn't matter, everything's green.

Because the movie is freakin awesome. I think it is amazing well writted and has a unique sense of humor. I really don't like Chris Tucker, in that movie he fits. It has Lelu and she is hot and naked. It has to be one of the best Sci Fi movies ever (except Serenity.) So it not any where near a guilty pleasure. A guilty pleasure is something you are embarassed by. I don't the The 5th Element fits that description.

I'm the same way, I even have my own copy of it and I still watch it when I see its on. I'm not a Bruce Willis fan,....this is the only movie he's done that I like. IMHO its a great story,(doesn't appeal to the lowest common denominator) its a great action flick,...has a love story,...and the hero is an ordinary guy, so we relate to him. Hell,...the've even got his Mother bugging him just like normal Moms. And there's comedy to keep it from getting slow.

...it's worst than you know...Operative
...it usually is.....Mal

The fifth element isn't a guilty pleasure, it's just a pleasure. That movie is great sci-fi.

Chick-an. Good!

Oh,and here I was under the impression that TFE wasn't viewed by many as being that good of a SciFi flick. Almost never do I see it mentioned. I never mistook it to be in the list of greats , but it is fun to watch.

Correction noted. Thanks, y'all

It is a fantastic movie. I own it too. It is over the top, funny and goofy. In my view, the movie just wants to be outrageous and that is exactly what it is. I think it is incredbily entertaining. One of my favorite science fiction movies. I absolutely love the part where General Munro is trying to recruit Korben for the mission to get the stones and he stuffs them into the fridge. HI-larious.

It's just a good fun movie. It knows what it is and revels in itself. Pure entertainment. i never tire of watching it.

I don't know what it is about this movie. The first time I saw it, was because my best friend and filmmaking partner had worked on the FX team, and had built models of Corbin's cab and the police cars. The first time I saw it, I thought it was good, but not great. Then, when it came out on DVD, I bought it and watched it again, and enjoyed it even more. Since then I've watched it dozens of times, and think it's one of the best sci-fi movies in my collection. It's definitely in my Top 10!

Funny how it just grows on you, but it does. Besson fills each frame with so much detail, that each time I watch it, I see something new.

Luc Besson is one of my favorite directors, and The 5th Element is one of three great films he made that I highly recommend! The other two, obviously, are "LaFemme Nikita" (not to be confused with the series or the lame US remake "Point of no Return"), and Leon, The Professional".

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

It's not a guilty pleasure. You should be proud you like 5th Element. For me, I love it. It's got great camera/lighting work, costume design, story and character design. The two people who did it do French comics and I believe whoever had their hand in Leon (aka The Professional). I must note that that's a brillant film. It's just *sighs* great. Plus, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman are in it which is a hoot ^_^. I feel that the artwork was Will Eisner amazing level for me actually.
