12 Monkeys
 

...rocks. Madeline Stowe is totally hot as a blonde, Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt did what was perhaps their best acting ever.

I credit Terry Gilliam. :D

Oh, and it's real sci fi, for crying out loud! Awesome.

Insane movie.


However, when it comes to Bruce Willis and Sci-Fi.... there is one movie that takes the cake:

The Fifth Element.

Multi-pass?

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

IMHO Fifth Element is 110% awesome but about as hard-core sci fi as, say, Star Wars. I.e., not at all. I'd call it more of a space opera.

12 Monkeys falls into the real sci fi category. What makes that even more unusual is that it WASN'T a failure at the box office.

12 Monkeys

5th Element

Both great flicks for different reasons.

Blade Runner.


I rest my case.

GET OUT OF MY CHAIR!!!!!!

12 monkeys rocks.......

"my father is god!"

super green

My friends who play D&D and Warcraft think the 5th Element is the best movie ever. I find it campy and barely watchable.

12 Monkeys is one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever IMO.

Fifth Element is absolutely atrocious. They should have just let the colorful flaming gay commentator and the hitler-like dude run with it and make it a full blown comedy. My husband watches this movie every couple of months. If it weren't for the laughter those two characters provide, I would definately be moved to pounding my head into the floor to drive the drivel from my skull.

12 Monkeys on the other hand is a very good movie.

yeah, they are great characters

Been so long since I saw the movie I can't remember...but Madeline Stowe...Oh my! She was always my "fine take the kids and the house, I'm moving in with my mistress Madeline" hottie!

Blade Runner... the best yet...

Mental divergence as defined in 12 monkeys explains many of those who post on PARF.

Hey! No PARFerating my thread. :(

Blade Runner was a great film but no comparison to the book ([i]Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep?[i]). Besides, which version are you talking about? Theatrical? Director's Cut? Ultimate Director's Cut? WTF?

It was a full-blown comedy. You just didn't get much of it. ;) :D There are a LOT of references in the movie that are just lost if you don't have a good background in SF film. ;)

Real Men Love the Fifth Element - 7/17/2007

I realized I haven't seen 12 Monkeys and the Fifth element. I better be good as I just bought them together with Blade Runner, Stndby Me and Fandango.

I agree 100% with your assessment of the comedic environment and obscure references that exist in The Fifth Element.

I honestly don't even remember a single line from 12 monkeys. It had less than zero impact on me. Totally forgetful.

obviously not enough rolls :D
