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.  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.

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.

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. angela

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!

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? Quote:

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