Moviedrome: Labyrinth (1986, U)

Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) is forced to babysit her baby stepbrother, Toby. He doesn't stop crying and she wishes that he'd be taken away.

When stops crying, she learns her wish was granted and the Goblin King Jareth (David Bowie) has taken him to his castle in the Goblin City in the middle of a labyrinth. Sarah repents and asks Jareth to give him back, but Jareth tells her she has to rescue him before midnight. Soon she teams up with some allies: will they rescue Toby in time?

“No CGI here - Bowie, Muppet creator Jim Henson and George Lucas of Star Wars fame team up in a live action musical fantasy written by Monty Python’s Terry Jones, an unforgettable and magical fan favourite which remains a unique treat almost four decades on." George Cromack

“A hyper-real, vibrant daydream, Labyrinth's main strength lies in its fairytale roots which give the fantastical story a platform from which to launch into some deliriously outlandish scenarios." Total Film
