Barbarella (4K disc) - 1968 sci-fi movie based on a French comic and

I saw this movie once, in an art house theater in revival. I've mever
noticed it on tv.

The Fifth Element (4K disc) The 1997 sci-fi movie directed by Luc
Besson.  I just don't like this movie.  Now I'll sit through it, because
it sort of looks nice (when it's not looking ugly) and it has Bruce
Willis making stuff go boom.  But it was mostly background noise while I
did a bit straightening up.

But teenage Milla Jovovich sure was pretty. We have to ignore that the
hideous red dye made her hair fall out till it occurred to someone to
let her wear a nylon wig.

Besson keeps endlessly remaking this movie.
