Just to preface this, Labyrinth is one of my very favorite movies of all time; if not my favorite of all time. Not only is the narrative compelling, but the world building, practical effects, and music are just so beautifully crafted. It was very much a labour of love. In fact, Jim Henson was extremely disappointed that this movie initially did poorly in the box office. Luckily, it would become a bit of a cult classic. However, I agree that it is really surprising that this was not a commercial success. Underrated, under appreciated, and ahead of its time; or maybe that’s just me. There is a very unique dynamic that Sarah and Jarred share. Instead of the traditional antagonist that attempts to prevent the protagonist from achieving their goals. However, Jarred is madly in love with Sarah. He claims to only be doing what she asked him to do, and pleads with her to love him. (And who would ever reject the David Bowie, I don’t know.) Jarred’s groin area is a bit crazy though, let’s be honest. Fun fact, David Bowie actually put a rolled up sock in his pants as a joke, and Jim Henson decided that it fit his character since he was trying to seduce Sarah. So, they ended up keeping it for the entire film. But on a similar note, can we talk about the costumes? My God the dress she wears in the dream sequence is just incredible. All of their costumes! Even the background characters with half a second of screen time were in such lovingly made outfits. That song, “As the World Falls Down” will in fact be playing at my boyfriend and I’s wedding and he knows it. If it wasn’t already glaringly obvious, this is five stars for me. It’s exactly what I look for in a film, and it’s what I think film is supposed to be. I heard some rumors that they were going to be making a reboot, which I just cannot even fathom a version of Jarred that isn’t David Bowie. I pray that they don’t. There really hasn’t been a single reboot that I’ve enjoyed more than the original of any franchise, except for maybe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mutant Mayhem. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. As long as they’re still working with the Jim Henson company, maybe it won’t turn out so bad. Without all the puppets and music, it would be totally nothing burger. Maybe David Bowie will come back from Mars just to play Jarred again.

A classic for a reason. I've seen this a thousand times and I could watch it a thousand more and still would never become sick of it.

Can't watch this without feeling ill because of how gut wrenching and painful it is but it is just so important to me.

Such a beautiful and unique film. I haven’t seen enough movies to be saying this, but just based on craftsmanship alone this has to be one of the best movies ever made.

Absolutely blew me away when I first saw it. I assume this is the best adaptation of the book, although I would need to watch the others first.

So heartwarming and lovely. Just thinking about this movie makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Heartbreaking, devastating, beautiful story. Mind you this came out before gay marriage was legalized in the US. I hate that people have made it into a joke when it was literally groundbreaking.

Beautiful, perfect movie. Reading the book makes it even better.

Holds a special place in my heart for whatever reason. What a taboo topic yet it still mamages to be a very heartwarming film.

What else is there to say? It's the perfect movie.

So much went into making this and it shows, it's so so beautifully done

Perfect story, incredible cast of characters, incredible animation. Underrated by a lot.

This helped me when I first was coming to terms with being queer and it's so camp and silly and wonderful I love it

I LOVE DOGS AND THIS MOVIE

So so important to me. The idea that people are so so complex and that you never truly know what someone is going through. I think everyone needs to see it, and by see it I mean truly watch and take it in fully.

The amount of detail and care put into Coraline is insane genuinely Laika please never stop making movies.

I cannot watch this without sobbing uncontrollably the entire time oh my god it's so good.

One of my all time favorites when I was a kid. So whimsical and fun

Holy this blew my mind how did I not get the twist until the end

Breaking Bad but with animals

Breaks my heart in the best way possible

I feel so seen and understood by this movie in a way I can't quite find the words to describe

Perfect movie and I'm not even slightly joking

Somehow even better than the first?

Perfectly encapsulates what it's like to live in the mountain west

This genuinely changed the trajectory of my life and I've never been the same since first seeing it in theaters.

Really changed my perspective on love, life, and relationships. This film helped me through one of the worst times of my life.

So so good, but also sometimes I forget about the Nazi's for some reason

Staple childhood film for anyone who was raised mormon. Jack Black has always been one of my favorite actors.

Best tmnt film by far

One of the first ever horror movies that I watched and I instantly fell in love with the tragic and disturbing story. Then I watched X and it turned out to be kinda buns but that's okay.

The hate that La La Land gets is undeserved. Just say you hate musicals!

I find something new every time I watch it.

The girls that get it... Get it

Made me laugh harder than any movie ever has

Can't a girl just love a chick flick?

Unironically amazing movie, Stephen Hillenburg was a genius. Anything to come after this never happened. (Except maybe sponge out of water...)

I love music and Jack Black

Was probably just meant to sell more legos but had a genuine heartfelt message and story

I cry every time don't judge me I fucking love Jack Johnson

My favorite Disney movie when I was a kid, sure hope it aged well...

Perfectly spooky and silly and fun

Such an amazing movie but I kinda feel like the vampire guy for enjoying it so much

Why can't they do muppets like this anymore. No Jim Henson, yet it's still got the classic muppet heart

Somehow maybe better than the first?
