I picked up a cheap DVD of Labyrinth the other day. I haven't seen it in ages, but on the whole, it fared well against the test of time. Kind of a trip down memory lane. I was never a huge Labyrinth fan, but there were also a couple of genuinely funny scenes. And the creature effects were fabulous, as always.
As a kid, it certainly cemented a lifelong love for David Bowie. This might have had something to do with some halfway decent songs he wrote for the flick, like this one, which featured some awesome 80's production values, fantastic sparkly masks, as well as Jennifer Connelly's teeth*.
Or, on second thought, it may have had a little to do with the costume design, which I found absolutely captivating as an 11-year old girl:
Nah, it was the music.**
*Does she have, like, the sexiest front teeth ever, or is it just me? If teeth can be classified as sexy.
** Seriously though, put some pants on that dude. That movie made me feel funny as a kid. Leggings are not for everyone.
