You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power...
Labyrinth remains one of my absolute favourite movies - and not in a nostalgic way, either. I love it because... well, partly because it's a full-on 80s movie, but also for a million other reasons. Brilliant dialogue, superb puppetry, two of my favourite actors -
David Bowie (
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars,
Zoolander) and Jennifer Connelly (
Inventing the Abbotts,
Dark City) - and a storyline that's genuinely unpredictable.
We're talking about a film that is forever in my recently watched DVDs pile - and when I'm not watching it, I'm often listening to
Bowie's incredible soundtrack. Majestic, magical, and much-maligned, his compositions might not be totally timeless but they suit the film absolutely perfectly.
