I just watched the Fifth Element for like the millionth time, and I just have to say, how fucking great is Gary Oldman?
There have been many movies I have seen and he'd be in and I would not realize it until the second or third time watching it that it was him.
Almost as good as his sister 'Big Mo' in Eastenders lol
Best Actor in the world. Hands down!
Been a huge Oldman fan since he did Sid and Nancy. Hopefully one day he'll get the Oscar he deserves.
Anyone seen Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy?? I've heard it's awesome and Gary will get an Oscar nom for it
I really wanna see that movie.
A very great actor. However, Dracula was hilariously awful.

Are you serious Keanu Reaves and that British accent made that film...Dick Van Dyke totally was jealous!

If you wanted to take it as a comedy, it's pretty fantastic, but as a serious adaptation of the novel...

Yeah, that's not happening. No way am I taking Gary Oldman seriously there. Not with the boob hair, the red plastic muscle armour, the sasquatch outfit, the banana yellow Vigo The Carpathian getup, the 19th century pimp suit or the man-bat suit.
That movie was exceptionally goofy, and that's not even taking into account the hamminess of Anthony Hopkins or Keanu & Winona's 'acting'.
Don't get me wrong though, the goofiness, campiness and cheesiness is what makes it very entertaining.
Personally my favourite bit was all the vampire bitches getting nude during the opening bit with Harker. Bearing in mind the internet hadnt been invented yet...and VHS was the household entertainment.
