What makes this movie stand out is that it has vision. In a way it's the mirror to Blade Runner, but where Blade Runner is gritty and hopeless and depressed, The Fifth Element is dynamic and a fusion of the alien with the familiar. It's retro as all hell, and the mixture of pulp SF and fantasy elements (the titular five elements as well as "Mr. Shadow") remind me of old school SF like Edgar Rice Borrough's Mars books. It's not serious in the least and knows that, but instead of constantly winking at the camera the movie runs with it. Fun fact: Gary Oldman's scenes were filmed in such a way that he's almost always framed by a circle.
