Labyrinth

Labyrinth, or as I like to call it "The Greatest Movie of all time," is the greatest movie of all time. Jennifer Connelly plays the role of a teenager named Sarah who is obsessed with fantasy books and plays. Like most teenage girls she feels alienated by her Father and Stepmother who always make her babysit her year old, screaming and crying half brother. She, in the allusion of her favorite play, (also titled the Labyrinth) wishes her baby brother, to be taken by the Goblin King (David Bowie). Much to her suprise her wish comes true and she finds herself actually playing the role of the protagonist in her favorite play. Jared, the Goblin King, gives her thirteen hours to solve an actual labyrinth, a giant life sized maze, before he turns her brother into a goblin forever. The plot is original, the characters are actual Jim Hensen muppets, and David Bowies costume is not almost too perverted for the childrens movie that this is. A must see for anyone who loves movies that are not cheesey at all and wishes to see David Bowie's life long dream of becoming King of the Goblins coming as close to being fulfilled as it ever will.
