Hey. New board.

Yeah, but it had an opera alien! And... and... and... Milla is hot!

ETA: My Science Fiction movie list isn't all that different. Mine's not in any particular order, though here it is:

Bladerunner
The Matrix
Serenity
The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars
Alien
ET
Children of Men

... that might actually be the end of my list. I can't think of any sci fi movies I really love outside of that list, oddly enough. Unless we're counting X-Men and X2, which makes as much sense as anything, in which case they can complete the list.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Love Fifth Element. It's incredibly goofy, but that's probably why I love it. Plus, the only movie I can remember with techno opera in it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I play the Diva's performance just by itself sometimes.

But I confess, I love Zorg's "Chaos, disorder, despair" speech, too. "And a tiny miracle ensues."

move out and draw fire

OK, let me retroactively add The Fifth Element to my quiz answers as "A movie I had to watch multiple times before I appreciated it." First time I saw it, I thought it was a big dumb showy ripoff. Now I really like it.

"Look at all these little things. So busy now. Notice how each one is useful. What a lovely ballet ensues so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created them. Technicians, engineers, hundreds of people who'll be able to feed their children tonight so those children can grow up big and strong and have little teeny weeny children of their own, and so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain... of life."

Always makes me smile.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It looks like Summer Glau is on tonight's episode of the Unit.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I own three movies on DVD. Serenity, The Princess Bride, and The Fifth Element. I love that movie.

I keep thinking that Gary Oldman is channeling Ross Perot for that voice.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

He totally is. I don't remember where I heard it, but I remember hearing that he based the accent off Ross Perot.

Joining the T5E love, the chain of life speech is brilliant. I also love the shot of the building exploding behind a calmly smoking Zorg.

So, how 'bout that big damn movie!

DH makes the best grilled butterflied chicken breast in the world. We usually grill and bag about eight at once, to have on hand for salads and sandwiches. All of us have been known to head to the refrigerator to retrieve a bagged chicken breast and chortle, "Chi-cken!" in a Leelu voice.

Okay, I'll stop. After I thank Ash for posting that whole speech. Love it. And I had no idea about the Perot voice, but yeah, it really does sound like him.
