You remind me of the babe.....



I just watched Labyrinth for the first time in about eight years.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

Growing up this was always my favorite movie. My siblings seemed to prefer The NeverEnding Story, but Labyrinth was always my love.

I was reminded tonight of the mad crush I had on Jareth the Goblin King... I started crushing all over again!

What is it about David Bowie in this movie that makes him so crushable?

It must be that fantastic hair and hot eye make-up! :)

Actually, one thing that I noticed as I tend to watch movies from a different perspective now, is that David Bowie gives a pretty stellar performance in this film.
He is both menacing and endearing (especially when he plays with Toby), vulnerable (especially at the end) desirable (in that bad boy "I want to give in but I'm scared to" kind of way)


I don't know if any of that makes sense, but I still love this movie. I love Ludo and Sir Didymus and his faithful steed, Ambrosius.


I was just as wonderful as I remember it being!!!

I know this is an older post but I'd like to say:
I also love this movie! Always have, always will. And we watched it way more than Neverending Story - although I love that one too. In fact, i watched Neverending Story a few weeks ago, and though it was cute and nostalgic, it really doesn't make any sense or have any character development! (but the new oompa loompa guy is in it!)
Labyrinth is much more in-depth and intellectual in both story and characters. And what teenaged girl doesn't dream of escaping her "miserable" life? Oh i sure do love this movie....
But a crush on Jareth? EWWWWW!!!! He is so femmy and icky! I can honestly say I never felt that, and i never really got how she could go for him either... But I'm not really into long hair or spandex... ;)
I guess that goes to show how different our taste in men is! ha ha... I think that's probably a good thing.
