For my first ever movie date, I took her to see The Sixth Day, with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Yeah, we didn't last long. I genuinely thought she would enjoy it!

The first movie date I went to (although it was not a real date at all) it was her the one who chose the movie. It was a quite dumb comedy whose title now eludes me, but I could swear that Rowan Atkinson was in there.

I have a long, long story of disastrous movie dates. Will talk about them when I'm less busy, got a project to deliver tomorrow!

Saw a mid-90s movie: Leon: The Professional. Featured an 11 year old Natalie Portman in her debut role. She was awesome - easily the best child actress I have ever seen. How she is able to act so well in this movie, yet be so wooden later in Star Wars, I do not know. 

Direction.


The last good Besson film for me.

But Fifth Element! :o

Meh.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

5th Element is certainly dumb fun. Which is fine I guess, but not a patch on Leon.

Agreed. My contention was that Leon was Besson's last good movie. :P

The only one I've seen since 5th Element is Lucy, which was crap.

Movie dates were not a thing in my early teen years, because there was no movie theater in my town and going on the bus for 45 minutes was too much effort. :P

The first movie I saw in theaters with a not-yet-girlfriend date was during my college years - The Horse Whisperer ... twice. And I admit the movie was not as horrible and didn't feel as long as I feared it would be.

Wasabi is good but he's not the director there. Producer & Writer.

Besson as producer and writer is even worse than director nowadays cf Banlieue 13/District B13.

I'm not very familiar with Besson - I just saw Leon the other day, found it very impressive.

What of his earlier work is worth seeking out?
