_Fifth Element_ is a classic favorite of mine. From earlier in this topic:

> We watched The Fifth Element which came out 25 years ago. I think it aged remarkably well, for a popcorn adventure movie. It has a nice retro-future vibe. The plotting is scattered; don’t think about it too much. The characters are fun and the visuals are engaging. The Chris Tucker (best performance in the movie, in mine opinion) character looks prescient in terms of social-media celebrities.

And another thread about it:
