      Funnily enough it missed it's own (actual) anniversary by two days! (released May 7, 1997)

    I think they do it every year.

    • thanks, thats a very strange reason they gave, there is plenty of Luc Besson french american films they could have shown too :(

    • I remember seeing it in previous years on repeat, too.

      Fifth day of the filth month maybe why?

    Fifth Element was the first DVD we owned as a family and I think I saw it like 20 times as it was the only thing we could play in the DVD player besides occasional rented movies. Fond memories

    Fifth Element has it's 25th Anniversary on the 7th May (15th May for the Aus release). Funnily enough I rewatched it on the weekend without even realising. Definitely in my top 10 films.
