David Bowie and his area.

For a film that transfixed me as a child, watching it now I can't work up the same enthusiasm - its oddly banal storytelling and apart from David Bowie's wicked fabulousness and his visible bulge, its not even remotely as subversive and imaginative as I remembered. Still I liked its cheesy 80s musical fantasia vibe and striking set design.

Its about twenty minutes too long, Bowie is really good at being a flamboyant pedophile. Considering how many "cooks" were involved, this was not too bad. Probably would have been better if Lucas wasn't involved, yep I went there.

Just a beautiful film. Every frame could be my desktop and the whimsy created with no CGI (except that owl in the opening credits) is a testament to the fact that true craft and artistry has no shortcuts and infinite rewards.

Before any of the fans all either try to track me down and try to kill me when you learn that I despise this movie, please hear me out. I saw this movie a few days after seeing The Dark Crystal for the first time in 2007 and was appalled both at how much I disliked it and how it paled in comparison to DC. Jennifer Connelly annoyed me, Bowie's performance took me out of it, and songs were tacked on. I've said enough.

When I try to recall what movies fascinated me when I was a kid, it's Labyrinth. We didnt even have cable then, but a local channel plays this movie at least once a month. Growing up, this was one of the Movie VCDs I wanted to own right away. I remember growing up and wishing I looked like Sarah (especially when she was all dolled-up in the bubble)

Puppetry,animatronics,set design, and characters were all great. Don't know why I never watched this before.Perfect kids movies that is enjoyable for adults(not unlike sesame street which I found myself laughing at when my niece watched it)

The day I have seen this movie is quite significant. It was a national holiday dedicated to all the children around the world and I have seen this movie as a praise for the limitless imagination of children. This movie is serving as a strong base for the prospect classics of the same genre. And the songs, oh the songs :) Spend some time after the movie with the timeless David Bowie masterpieces.

Watched it when I was probably 7 or 8 and held this as the best movie I had seen in my life until I saw it again 12 years later. Speaking of visual impact.

i loved this movie when i was younger but could never find it until i dated a girl in junior high who also loved it. the real reason i never found it until then is because when i was little my mom told me it was called The Maze, most likely because she knew i would never be able to pronounce that, and since they were basically the same thing i wouldn't know the difference.

I'll say it, because no one else is going to: this film is as much a worthwhile endeavor on adolescence as The 400 Blows.

David Bowie and the cute little worm in the scarf toward the beginning were the only enjoyable aspects of this movie.

This movie was good for its time. It always made me feel so isolated from the real world and made me feel as though there was absolutely no turning back from this unforgiving one. Not to mention its conceited, tyrannical leader likes to steal people and turn them into goblins and trolls. And, I was most certainly not pleased with the ending of the film one bit. Yes I do realize it was all symbolizing something.
