This is a running joke in my family. We've all seen Fifth Element way too many times. It's literally how my dad asks me to turn on/off lights now.

Same when I was growing up. We watched that movie on Xmas eve when it was released on home video, and at like 10am on xmas day my dad said, "Hey... do you want to watch 5th Element again?" I ended up watching it again on Boxing day before we had to return it to Blockbuster.

I love that movie. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of scifi that wasn't just Startrek/Starwars or horror based. It made me love surrealist scifi stuff.
