Not much to blog about, so I’m going to blog another movie post. This time about my favorite Fantasy movie. I am not a big fan of these types of movies, so narrowing it down to one isn’t too hard.. Just to let you know I am definitely not a Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings fan at all.

My favorite Fantasy movie is “Labyrinth” 1986 Directed by Jim Henson.

Young Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) is left home alone by her parents and she has to babysit her little brother Toby. But the baby keeps crying and Sarah, while telling him a story to make him sleep, inadvertently conjures from a fantasy world the Goblin King (David Bowie) who steals the child and brings him to his castle in the middle of a labyrinth. Sarah has to rescue him before midnight, or the baby will became a goblin… (Outline from IBDB)

It has been forever since I have seen this but when I saw it at Blockbuster I had to rent it to see it again. I have forgotten just how much I love this movie. And I remembered how I used to have a crush on David Bowie in this film. Some of favorite scenes are shown below in the screen shots.

When the Goblins are anticipating Sarah to say the magic words of asking the Goblin King to take the baby away. I just love when the big guy on the right says, “did she say it?”

I love the song he is singing here and watching them all dance… “Dance Magic Dance”

I loved the way they were both dressed in this scene. I would love to actually go to a masquerade dance.

And how can anyone not love this scene obviously inspired from the famous M.C. Escher drawing
