The Fifth Element is one of those science-fiction movies that's set in the distant future, but feels distinctly of the time it was made. If you've got a soft spot for 1990s blockbusters, that's okay though, and its creativity and often bizarre artistic decisions do provide some explanation for why The Fifth Elementhas become a cult classic of sorts. One of those unusual decisions comes in the form of making Milla Jovovich's character initially speak the "Divine Language," though given Leeloo...
De Düva (The Dove) is a short film, clocking in at just 15 minutes in length, but is one of the best examples of a film using an entirely made-up language for comedic effect. It serves as a surprisingly merciless parody of Ingmar Bergman's filmography, most notably riffing on Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal. Because of its brevity, it's a co...

The Star Wars series may be sci-fi films set a long time agoand in a galaxy far, far away, but the language used by most of the main characters is still English. It could well be that they're not literally speaking English, but that's merely what we hear as viewers for the sake of convenience, given making most of the dialogue fictional would be too alienating for most viewers (and might make things harder to take seriously). That doesn't stop the minor characters from various alien races fro...

A classic (and underrated) old comedy, The Court Jestermixes romance, adventure and musical numbers into an enjoyably silly story about a group of outlaw heroes who need to protect the sole true heir to the throne (an infant) from a tyrannical ruler who's usurped the throne for himself. The lead character goes undercover in the false king's castle as a court jester, with part of his cover involving him supposedly being fluent in many different languages. Given the movie's keenness to feature...
One of the rare films that uses an entirely fictional language for its entire runtime, Nude Tuesdayis spoken in "Zobftanlik," which is a form of gibberish invented specifically for the film. The plot itself might otherwise sound fairly conventional, as it's about a middle-aged couple who go to a couple's retreat in an attempt to save their marriage...

Sacha Baron Cohen was famously committed to his role as Kazakhstan journalist Borat Sagdiyev, and it's perhaps one reason why 2006's Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstanendures as a landmark comedy film. Part of being in character involved scenes where he wouldn't speak in English, though the language he uses - most notably with his manager, Azamat - isn't an intelligible one. While in real-life, the population of Kazakhstan speaks Kazakh and Rus...

Famed for his silent films made throughout the 1910s, 1920s, and even the 1930s, Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator was his first film to fully feature dialogue. It needed to, after all, as it had a slightly more ambitious plot (and heavier themes) than what Chaplin had explored in his films previously, as it's a satirical comedy-drama/war movie about a dictator who bears a strong resemblance to Adolf Hitler, who was the leader of Germany at the time of the film's release. Chaplin plays two...

Probably one of the more annoying uses of a fictional language comes in the Despicable Memovies, thanks to the sometimes loved, sometimes despised Minions characters. They're divisive characters, largely thanks to the gibberish they all speak in, but they clearly work for some people, as they don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Indeed, the Minions are probably now more popular than Gru or any other main characters in the series. They're the kind of comedic sidekicks who become popul...

Team America: World Police is a movie that takes no prisoners when it comes to who it'll make fun of. That's probably to be expected when it comes to anything from the writers of South Park, and the fact they don't discriminate when it comes to their targets perhaps makes their often crude and sometimes edgy humor easier to digest. Granted, American jingoism and the U.S.'s involvement in foreign conflicts are made fun of the most in Team America, though that doesn't mean that other countries/...

One of the less well-remembered Pixar movies (though it's still pretty good), A Bug's Life takes inspiration from Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Sevenand makes it kid-friendly. The story involves circus performers being mistaken for fierce warriors, and in turn, they're hired to defend an ant colony from a gang of tyrannical grasshoppers. Two of these circus performers, the pill bugs Tuck and Roll, speak a completely made-up language throughout the film, for comedic effect. It sounds somew...
