Watched Labyrinth with the junior Ravyns yesterday, enjoyed the mixture of enthrallment and confusion on their faces during it. Yeah, the 80's were a different time... :) (Oh, and I still think muppets look better than CGI!)
I sometimes start up with "You remind me of the babe" with my girlfriend, if something comes up that makes me think of it. Such as, "Will you remind me to get almonds? No YOU remind me! You remind me of the babe! What babe? The babe with the power!" etc. We go around a time or two back and forth. It's pretty hilarious. Much better than the Lamb Chop song that never ends.
I remembering seeing that flick in the theater as a kid and loved it. I watched it a few months ago with my six year old and three year old. Uhm. That was a bad move. I forgot that the initial scene with the goblins snatching the baby was kind of creepy. Yeah, didn't earn a lot of bonus points with the wife for that....
Love that movie.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Connelly has always had a place in my heart, and it started with that movie. :) I always liked the talking stones when i was a kid.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie. I will watch it with my son soon I think. I agree with muppets/puppets/animatronics being better than CGI.
ReplyDeleteDitto.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie, and another emphatic vote for muppets / animatronics over CGI any day!

ReplyDeletethe babe with the power!
ReplyDeleteActually picked this up at the library last week and rewatched it. Love the labyrinth and particularly love Froud's goblins.

ReplyDeleteIt just goes on and on, my friend ;)
