The Fifth Element is likely the easiest to determine since you likely already know plenty about it. Released in 1997, this is one of the most memorable Bruce Willis movies outside of the Die Hard franchise—and he’s done a lot of extremely memorable movies.

Willis is a taxi driver in the future who is the one to catch Leeloo as she literally falls from the sky. She is the embodiment of “the fifth element,” and Leeloo needs to combine with the other four elements to prevent a Great Evil from destroying the world as everyone knows it.

It’s a wild ride with some outstanding actors, including Milla Jovovich, Ian Holm, Chris Tucker, and Gary Oldman. This is not a movie you want to skip now that it’s on Amazon Prime Video.

As for The Lincoln Lawyer, this is a newer movie, released in 2011. Matthew McConaughey is Mick Haller, a charismatic defense attorney who uses his Lincoln Continental sedan for his business. Most of his clients are petty crooks and bottom-feeders until he comes across the case of a lifetime. He has to defend Ryan Phillippe’s Louis Roulet, a playboy accused of attempted murder.

Of course, what Mick thinks is an open-and-shut case turns out to be something completely different. It could make or break him, as well as put his life on the line. Is it really all worth it?
