UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 Look at this. Insane crazy scary puppets. A fantasy world. Amazing music. Seriously, this was like The Wizard of Oz meets The Muppets...why wasn't this the next "big movie"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted November 2, 2004 It hasn't done too badly. I imagine anyone would know it if they passed it on tv or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mole 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 I saw Labyrinth when I was younger because a girl told me it was her favorite movie. After I saw it, I no longer macked it with her. That being her favorite movie scared me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 Labyrinth is a great movie - one of Henson's last, I think, before he died. Jennifer Connelly is fun in it, Bowie is great as the Goblin King, and the character designs (I believe done either by Brian Froud or definitely inspired by him) were fantastic. Definitely one of my favorite movies from my childhood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 I liked it, it's one of those childhood memories that kinda scared you, but you remember it fondly. Like Ghostbusters 2. I had to leave the cinema the first time I saw that one though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbacon 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 One of my favorite childhood movies. Even today, i'll watch it with a friend (who does a killer Bowie impression) now and again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 This film was profound on a few levels - a satire of World War II with stereotypes out the asshole. It's genius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 I just like the fact that Bowie sings all while surrounding himself with evil muppets and trying to seduce a 13 year old girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 Or the fact that Bowie is symbolic of Hitler, Ludo the Russians, that crazy little dog the British, and the little girl the Americans....or maybe I just smoked too much before watching it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted November 3, 2004 One of my favorite movies, just for the shear insanity of the whole movie. And don't mock dark crystal. "Trial by Stone!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 Fuck the Dark Crystal haters. Movie is fan-fucking-tastic. The language in particular is very interesting in an extremely fucked-up way. The crab-soldier things rule as do the Mystics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
