i think...

As a child of the 80's - I totally love this movie . I remember watching it over and over, sitting there on a Saturday morning, duvet and a bowl of cereal, VHS in hand, ready to join the wonderful and strange world within the Labyrinth.

I truly believe that this is one of better things of David Bowie's career. Out there and weird. I love it - plus the music rocks!

Whenever you need a refresher course of the mid 80's stick on this movie and you'll be transported! Even if you stretch to buying the soundtrack you won't be sorry. Most of the tracks are almost sing-a-long-able (ok not word, but you get what I mean!)

You can't go wrong with a Jim Henson flick - puppets abound and tight fitting costumes. You can't go wrong.

This movie sits well within it's fairytale genre, in fact maybe it's the leader, others that I remember and love: Never Ending Story and Flight Of The Navigator - but for me Labyrinth beats them.

you think..

Let me know...

  1. haha yeah so i know i was born like 10 years after this movie was made... but definately a fav of mine!!! looove the little worm-y dude! haha i wish my friends have seen it though.... =[

  2. I saw this movie when it first came out and i've been a fan ever since. awesome movie! love Bowie! love the muppets! love Jennifer Connelly (sp)! in fact, i just watched this the other day! did i say i LOVE IT!?!?! xoxox

  3. You gotta love David Bowie in this movie...the man wore tights for the whole movie! I had seen the movie so many times as a kid that I would say the dialogue with the actors. 3 yrs ago I had the privilege of seeing "Labyrinth" on the big screen at the AFI (American Film Institiute) Silver Theater in Silver Spring, MD and it was fantastic...made me feel like a kid all over again. :o) And it's got muppets in it...how can you pass it up?!!

  4. I loved this film in the 80's and i still love it now! The music is fantastic and Bowie never looked so good! I always find myself alienating people when i remember i have it and put it on when i have people over, then tell everyone to shush cos the ballroom scene is coming on next! :P Great movie. Cult classic.

  5. sorry Jake, tried adding the trailer.

  7. Oh my gosh, this is my favourite film in the world ever!!! I love the story, the characters and the actors, jennifer connelly still remains one of my favourite actresses to this day.

    I have it on DVD, i have books, bookmarks, and various other merch from it, because i was obsessed by it when i was younger, i remember watching it on Disney channel, and i still love it now :)

    The only sad thing is that it isnt very often that i find some else who loves it as much as i do!!

  8. Funny how you say you used to watch on sat mornings under duvet - this is one of the first DVD's that comes out when I am felling ill or down. DVD on duvet out and a huuuuuge bowl of popcorn and by the end of the movie the world is back to rights. This is Bowie at his best and I wish he would do more - I always enjoyed his music but this made me fall in love with him
