I love this film, I saw it when I was about 6 and became a Bowie fan for life!
I love the music, and the costumes and the puppets and everything!
I think Sarah was kinda stupid for not going with Jareth though. I mean come on! Who wouldn't have? xd

It is a fun little movie. I enjoyed it greatly.
She was wise for not living with Jareth. He wanted her to submit totally to him then she would have had anything she wanted but she would still have been under him.

I watched this movie for the first time when I was 17. Having never watched it before, put hearing all of the hoopla about it, I figured I would give it a go.
Well, I must say, it's not the most amazing piece of film out there, but it's definitely fun.
I can see why most people enjoy this movie. It's not good in any right (Jennifer Connelly's acting is just terrible), but because it has become such an integral part of our culture, it has been deemed a "cult classic" of sorts.
Many people watched this movie at some point in time during their early childhood, and as such, when people think back to it some years down the road, they remember how much they enjoyed the movie and it brings back all those fond childhood memories. If it wasn't Labyrinth that the child watched, it was maybe another one of similar nature. For me, it was Batman. I remember fondly the old Batman cartoons of the 1990s, and they bring back such good childhood memories. For another child, it may have been The Muppets. For another, Power Rangers. In many cases, these films and television shows aren't great, but because they have such a strong connection to our childhood, they will continue to live on in pop culture.

I love this movie....I love it so much that after years I finally got it and watched it like 10 days in a row...then I knew that I wanted the soundtrack....which did exsist....just a pain in the ars to find...eventually I went to Down In the Valley (awesome store) and was searching and searching for it, then the guy at the cash register said that if I wanted, they could just order it.... 4laugh So naturally I did and thanked the guy...but I had to wait fricken 2 weeks, but when I got it, I couldn't stop listening to it....except for number 5 I think it is...5 or 7 with those stupid creepy wild things....the red singing things....they creep me out and the song is creepy too....

Loved the movie and the soundtrack to bits. I saw the ballroom scene on a postcard at Hot Topic one day; it was so beautiful I asked the cashier what movie it was from, and I was hooked from there. 3nodding

Bowe is wonderful! *bows down to his Boweness*
I was a little sad that they didn't end up together and that the movie wasn't really that long.
I sorta wish that they would do a remaking of Labyrinth...
The technology was lacking back then.. We've come a long way. To bad we don't really have another David Bowe though....:/
Someone got a frozen David Bowe anywhere?

I agree that some of Labyrinth’s major appeal is the lingering emotional attachments from our childhood; However, I personally enjoy it for its content, rather than just fond memories.
When I was younger I loved it for its loveable characters, lighthearted singing, and funny antics. As I got older I also appreciated its symbolic representation of a girl making the somewhat dramatic transformation from child to adult. A fine example is her teddy bear. In the beginning Sarah is seen as a daydreamer who can’t even find it in herself to give her stuffed teddy bear to her baby brother, becoming enraged. By the end of the movie we see her with quite a different attitude; she now willingly gives her baby brother the bear. This is the result of her journey though the labyrinth, a journey into adulthood. Overcoming outside forces and temptations, she now has the ability to set childish thinking aside, and take on responsibility, while maintaining the courage to be herself.
I think this is where the Labyrinth really shines as a great movie, not in the special effects(which was considered great for 1986) or eye candy, and not just its fun loving nature that reminds us of our childhood, but in its underlining depth that we can all relate to. At one point we must all make the journey though the Labyrinth.
