Real Men Love the Fifth Element
Posted by Jess in Geek Humor

I found this article via Fark the other day. I think my circle of friends have found a kindred spirit in this author!

The entire article is a compendium of all the reasons why this is one of my favorite movies. And I knew I wasn't alone when I was at my friends house (that I didn't know that well) and she announced, "Cheeken GOOD!"

It was a friendship meant to be.

What really hit me about this article was the fact that he stumbled on something that I thought only Matt and I had ever noticed (okay, it was Matt...). There's a scene in which the Priest knocks out Korben (Bruce Willis) in his own home. Matt had noticed the funny look on Bruce's face, and we had a good laugh at the time rewinding it over and over in slow motion. Apparently, this guy noticed it too, and not only does he show you a slow motion video of it there, but he also did the rewind/watch again. I nearly fell off my chair laughing when I read that he did this!

From the loud announcement of "HELM 108!" to the President saying, "Get-out-of-there! I don’ wan’ a issiden!", this article covers most, if not all of the favorite quotes and reasons we love this movie.

Ask me to do my impression of Korben's mother the next time you see me. "Oh Korwben, I never should have pushed you out!"

It is a great movie! One of my favorite soundtracks ever. You have to love the opera alien who busts out the poppy hiphop dance.

Damn people who hate this movie. :D

I see something new each time I watch it. I love this movie

I love that they kept the goof in there. When the priest says ". . . Mr. Willis." and Bruce responds "Dallas."

Truly an underappreciated film.

Gregg, where was that in the film?? That's awesome, and I've never noticed!

Oh wow baby, yeah, great movie

But thanks even more for turning me on to the Real Men Love site, cuz Grosse Point Blank is my favorite underappreciated movie of all time, and my favorite vanity fiilm of all time. It is always nice to find someone who's weird taste matches yours.

One of the families favorites and we have watched it a gazillion times. Lil and Iz often do quotes from it!
