LEON is about a hit man and a little girl and some well dodgy coppers, best film ever in my humble opinion

It's worth buying the International version on DVD, there's a good 25 minutes cut from the UK release.

Make sure you feel thoroughly guilty about ogling Natalie Portman later in Star Wars!

I must say that Luc Besson is one of my all time favorite directors, and Jean Reno is amazing. Leon is a classic film, and I second the opinion to get hold of the international version (try dvdboxoffice.com), the extra scenes do add a little more to the film.

I always have a real problem deciding which is my fave Luc Besson film. Leon, The Fifth Element, Nikita, or Taxi. Tres difficile

We have a look-a-like at work. He's no alchie though, but a very bright Croation programmer guy (so he has the accent too)

It's about to start but I'm watching the Millionaire thing now, grr...

Really !!! I didnt know that

I know he cast Mila Jojovitch (sp?) in 5th Element, so he could ask her out and then marry her

I think they split up after a while tho, Luc Besson co directed and co wrote the George Clooney film Solaris too

Top film

Had it on video sitting in my cabinet for years before a m8 actually asks if I have watched and I'm like err no not yet. They were gonna thump me lol, can't believe I had it sitting there all that time and not realise what a classic it was
