My favorite movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2005)

The 5th Element is my favorite movie of all time. There is not one aspect of the movie that I don't like. Every detail of the movie has been carefully constructed to form the most fun and entertaining movie possible. I understand that this movie is not The Godfather and does not embody some of the values that those who deem themselves movie critics appreciate. However, a lot of hard, smart, dedicated work went into this movie and I do not think that it gets the credit it deserves. Look at the trivia section that IMDb provides for a sampling of the detail that went into this movie. It has a great plot, especially considering that all of the action takes place in one day. The soundtrack is amazing, the characters are great. And how cool is it that throughout the entire movie, the bad guy (Zorg) and the hero (Korben Dallas) never meet? And the movie was edited in an amazing way. I have seen thousands of movies from every genre and have a favorite movies list from here to Timbuktu, and The 5th Element is at the top of my list. It will always be one of my all-time favorites and it will always have a special place in my heart. It just makes me happy no matter what.
