Léon, AKA The Professional, was the movie that brought my attention to both Luc Beeson and Natalie Portman. They've both gone through their ups and downs since then, but Léon is still a remarkable movie 16 years after its release.
The story is original and the acting is superb. Reno, Portman and Oldman is great, and Luc Beeson have directed his own writing to a viewing pleasure. Besides the story, it's also a funny movie. I laughed more from some scenes in this, than I've done watching a lot of comedies.
The combination of character development, humor, story and acting makes this another stroke of genius from the single greatest year in movie history.
