Actually he didn’t turn down the role, they didn’t even ask him the crew named popular artist at the time and as soon as they said David Bowie’s name the director said he would be a perfect candidate for the role.
NOW THAT I'M REWATCHING THIS MOVIE, I can only picture how respectful David was towards women. Jennifer was only 14 or 15 while filming this and during the dance scene, you can see that Bowie is keeping his distance from his chest and watching where he touches to make sure that Jennifer was comfortable! What a gentleman! May he rest in peace!
No one has commented on how beautiful Jennifer's hair looks with the silver lace and jewelry woven through it? The costumes in this scene absolutely blow me away every time I see it.
Yes her hair is so much more lovely than ur rat locks giant feet kid downloader … get some respect .. go away , this is my phone ! Enjoy ur own evening nasty woman x
The Ballroom is my favorite part of the movie. It's dark, decadent, and yet so magical. Jareth is trying to seduce Sarah but it's Sarah that has him enchanted. It's beautiful.
Yup they were showing the Occult also she was under 18 in this so it's borderline Pedophilia. But back then things were seen from a much more innocent perspective and yes it was my favorite part.
I agree! I remember thinking that, when this film first debuted in 1986. That it seemed like, against his own dark nature, Jareth was being charmed by Sarah. Its a shame his evil side won out.
There is actually a labyrinth comic i have been wanting yo read (i only have the second half) and one pf the covers has this scene i fell in love all over again
"Anemoia- a nostaglia for a time you've never known" This gives me such strong feelings of anemoia. Deep deep sorrow, desire, love, longing and sadness I cant possibly comprehend.
Me too. I just discovered this movie last week and I just keep rewatching some scenes over and over to feel anemoia I guess. Glad there's a word for it
This scene is so incredibly crafted. It has a tone of beauty, love, darkness, manipulation, purity, connection,and danger all in one. Not a word spoken, just eye contact of the actors and how they are blocked, and the beautiful choreography and music. Bravo Jim Henson!
I just really love how, considering many of the goblins were originally people, Henson kind of hints at the real appearances these people WOULD have had as humans. Plus, I'm curious if this is how many of the goblins perceive the world all the time. It might explain their almost stoner-like behavior at times if they pretty much were as intoxicated as she in this moment...
I hope there's no remake or sequel. Nothing will ever be as amazingly cast as this. Such a beautiful crafted film from start to finish, that will never be captured by today's cinematography. Anything else would just ruin it. Plus, there is absolutely nobody on this planet that could ever replace David Bowie. Ever.
There technically is a sequel on comic form that's kinda crappy. On the plus side, there's also an excellent prequel comic that gives us an origin story for Jareth and how he became the Goblin King.
💯 so so true! No one could ever replace bowie or the songs he did for this movie it is just perfect as it is when I watch this movie it's like a time machine to my childhood love love LOVE THIS MOVIE! 🤗 ❤❤❤❤❤

The sad part is, had she followed her heart for him, she would have got everything she wanted, including him, Toby and all she wanted. He even said so with a clever play on words. As the little worm said to her, can't take nothing for granted, she kept that in mind, ironically she didn't catch on to what Jareth was trying to tell her. Damn, the writing in Labyrinth is so damn good. Underated.
He would have turned her into a goblin. Like the others at the ball. Now that I think about it, the goblin king reminds me of Ursula, when she turned mermaids to crap.
I watched that movie over and over as a girl. I was distressed every time she refused him. What a waste, she destroyed the dreams of so many of us romantics!
@@SpecialOrder935 so he was 🌈... I knew it, I can spot them a mile away. Nvr heard of him before until I seen this clip. Nice song dough, and no it doesn't matter
@@SpecialOrder935 I honestly nvr heard of him. So he wasn't? Hmm... I would of bet he was just by that look he gave in that scene you pointed out. Either way it doesn't matter I was just curious cause according to the comments he was a very famous person.
I saw this at the cinema when it was first released, I was 12 years old.. I fell in love with The Goblin King and played this scene over and over, wishing I was Sarah and he looked at me like that...I'm 46 now and I still fall in love with him every time xx
I agree!! I'm 47 now & fell in love with David when this film came out......& ever since. I still do. That grin was almost everything charming you could imagine! I became a huge fan of his music & several others of his films. I miss him so much, the world isn't the same without him. 😢😢😢
@@juliapigworthy Interestingly, age had nothing to do with it & no one even commented on that when it debuted. Because it was looked at for what it was, as you said: fantasy material. And nothing sexual happened, not even a kiss, so no one would have blinked an eye in the '80s. It was thought of like Beauty & the Beast, or Cinderella-like. GOD How I miss the 1980s. :D
Ugh…the very look he gives her just before he approached her to dance and as he’s walking towards her melts me every single time…🥴 it screams, “mine”.❤
+Lauren Carroll If you imagine it, the idea becomes kind of hearthwarmingly funny. "Sir, there is a huge group of ladies, all asking you for a last dance." He certainly would be busy for a long time.
What a simple-minded, juvenile, tone deaf reductionistic piece of tripe criticism. "There is NO HOPE for the excessively literal minded," none, no aesthetic evolution of taste is possible. You can stick with the likes of Fast and Furious films, Giant Tractor Pulls, and goofball Super-Hero bilge, that's about your speed evidently, and realize, no one will takes your whining, emotionally deadened nonsense seriously as a reason not to enjoy this film, this scene, nothing, capiche? Case closed, no appeals!@@_RobBanks
I would have stayed. I would have married Jareth, lived in the castle beyond the Goblin City, and raised Toby together. With Ludo, Sir Didymus and Ambrosius and Hoggle as my best friends, I would have been the queen of the Labyrinth. Damn it, Sarah. You traded all that for your clueless, detached father and bitchy stepmother.
To get David Bowie to do all the songs in this movie was pure genius. She is gorgeous and so grown up...he is beautiful in makeup and it's dreamlike till the chair shatters the illusion xxx Still watch this movie. One of my favourites! RIP David Bowie
This part always gives me chills, she looks beautiful and David looks hypnotizing, the song, the ballroom and the outfits are amazing, such a beautiful movie
Jennifer Connelly is so stunning in this movie. This movie was an instant classic. I hope they NEVER remake the movie, they just going to ruin a master piece.
Fan Theory: What if all the other guests at the masquerade ball are the previous human forms of the goblins that live in the labrynth? It would make sense because Jareth is almost always around the goblin horde and all the masks they are wearing are very goblinlike. What do you think?
I've heard a similar theory like this. Another one said that there were many Sarahs that came before who got lost in the Labrynth. That's why when Sarah talked to Hoggle for the first time, he wasn't surprised when she mentioned her name.
I think some of the previous Sarah's were turned into those trash ladies too. Sarah almost became one of them when the lady started piling her toys onto her, and I assume they couldn't remember what they were looking for just like Sarah couldn't after this scene.
I first saw this in 1992 on VHS at the age of seven. A classmate brought this to our classroom. When I saw this scene, I fell in love with Jennifer Connelly. Even today, she still looks amazing.
I tried to play this movie for my first grade class, but apparently since it was rated PG, I wasn’t allowed to. We were only allowed to show G rated Movies in first grade. I was so angry because I just recently watched this movie and it was awesome. This is circa 2000 still a great classic.

I've never heard her say anything about that, but I hope she did, regardless. Edit: I've heard her say in interviews that she knew about him and was familiar with some of his songs prior to filming, but didn't really know much about him. She says she ended up liking him and that he was really nice to her, but I don't think she knew enough about him at the start to really develop a crush on him.
I have watched this movie since its release in 1986. Mind you I was 4 years old. I would pray every night to God to make me an adult so I could marry David Bowie. Silly, I know. But this movie made me closer to my stepdad who is a huge Bowie fan, and it also brought me closer to my grandpa, who passed away in 2012. My dad and I bonded over Bowies music, and grandpa and I bonded over this movie. My daughter loved this movie as a child, and now I get to pass it on to my step grandkids who absolutely love this movie. Words can not express how much this movie and the soundtrack truly means to me. R.I.P. both David and Jim. You may be gone from this earth, but the magic you had is very much with us all today. ❤❤
So sad we will never get movies like this again so glad I grew up with this! It transported me into a whole nother world and just made me more creative and imaginative
The way Jareth sings the song to Sarah just makes my heart cry, this is the best scene in the movie for sure- The way Jareth looks at her when she’s running away, his heart broke right there but he knew deep down she would make it, and she gave everything she ever wished for, including Jareth. The eye contact, gosh you could feel everything by just observing.❤️😩
And Sarah was looking especially delicious during this scene (of course this is coming from a 52 year old man who was only 25 or 26 when he saw this movie for the first time)

I think I was just 5 when I first watched this movie, and it's strange I still have this daydream feeling in love with someone I haven't even met yet whenever I hear this song 🧡🍂.
If there's a remake, I think Harry Styles has some similar features to be the Goblin King 🙄 I can't think someone else other than him. Aaaand... for as Sarah, perhaps like Mckenzy Foy? 🤔 age gaps between two leads is a good factor to create great romantic chemistry since it's fantasy. 😊🥰
There's such a sad love Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel Open and closed Within your eyes I'll place the sky Within your eyes There's such a fooled heart Beatin' so fast In search of new dreams A love that will last Within your heart I'll place the moon Within your heart As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill is gone Wasn't too much fun at all But I'll be there for you-ou-ou As the world falls down Falling As the world falls down Falling Falling in love I'll paint you mornings of gold I'll spin you Valentine evenings though we're strangers 'til now We're choosing the path Between the stars I'll leave my love Between the stars As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill is gone Wasn't too much fun at all But I'll be there for you-ou-ou As the world falls down Falling As the world falls down
There are a lot of parallels with Phantom of the Opera in this masterpiece. The older man in love with the younger girl, the mask, the masquerade ball, the seduction through music. Such a lovely movie.
@@zimriel Thank you! People are completely misinterpreting Jareth just cus they got a crush on him 🤦🏽♀️ He has her there against her will and won't give her brother back, something she desperately wants. The sus age gap aside, this would be a very toxic relationship. All these comments tell me is that these people would be turned into Goblins real quick 😂😂
Watching this scene makes my heart ache. It has always made me long for something that never existed. It also makes me sad, knowing that our Goblin King is no longer with us...
"It made me long for something that never existed". You literally read my mind; I watched Labyrinth when I was 8 years old and all through my life I have expected from my relationships something that was unreal, therefore unreachable. It hurts and always will.
By far this is one of those movies that will forever have an imprint in your heart & mind especially if you had watched it as a young child...My daughter had the exact same reaction I did after watching it & started crying cause she didn't want (Jareth David bowie to go away)

I had a crush on both of them 😭 I was so obsessed with this movie I watched it almost everyday. It gives me so much comfort.It is hard to explain, but this movie feels like home. I love it. I sadly can't watch it at the moment :(
Played this at my wedding last year. It was my our father daughter dance. As Labyrinth was our film when I was a child. Week before the wedding my dad was told go home and enjoy your time left with your family. This song was so fitting for us. Will always be our song. My dear dad died 6 weeks later xxxx
First movie I ever remember seeing in a theater as a kid. This scene was so beautiful! I think every little girl dreams of a princess dress like this one at some point. Jennifer and David were iconic! R.I.P. David Bowie
It's the exact sound and notes in the Bass Guitar pattern. A different type of instrument wouldn't sound as sweet, a different pattern of notes would sound as juicy.
It haunts the soul because it's perfect and beautiful you want it to happen but you know deep down it is impossible and doomed still its what you would want for yourself something pure and beautiful a little naughty but as I said sometimes only sometimes it comes true.
Ok but how did Jennifer Connelly skip the awkward teenage years? She was (still is!) naturally so beautiful. Bowie will always be the hypnotic Goblin King❤

I first saw this movie when I was about 6 years old. I took the videotape from a friend and so I found out about this film. As a child, I watched this film many times. Now I am 27 and it takes me back to my childhood when I hear this song. I reviewed the "labyrinth" last year. Feelings are the warmest and nostalgic. It's good when there are songs and films that can take you back to childhood.
Nope! I first really saw David Bowie in "Labyrinth".....& I was lost. Hopelessly, wonderfully, dreamily lost in love! :) I have been a huge fan of his ever since & always will. Then I discovered his other works, his music & films. I miss him still. The world is not the same without him.
Hell yeah. You have my have my respect if you know and recognize the masterpiece that was and is this song. The movie and the soundtrack were way ahead of their time and Bowie pulled off one of the coldest villains imo. This movie and NeverEnding Story are definitely amazing. If you haven't you should look up the making of reverence and see how much work they actually put into all of those goblins and very short creatures. So much makeup wardrobe and work and time went into this. Did the vagabonde.. the old lady in the gigantic landfill / junkyard also scare the living shit out of you as a child? She was like no help at all. One of my favorite parts of the movie where those tiny creatures that would come and take the stone or whatever she had written the arrows on and turn it around to get you lost even more.
This is my favorite movie, and this is the song I listen to when I’m in quarantine, it always makes me forget things on my mind, this song is like a drug.
Yup. We all want a grand finale of somebody completely destroying the place to get back to her friends so that she can get her childnapped brother and defeat you. :)
+louise collins I'm ashamed to say this, but I never truly appreciated his music until I saw this film. I grew up listening to classic rock because that's what my parents would always play. They didn't listen to David so I never really did until just now. I'm just discovering all of his wonderful music. I had heard Changes and Life On Mars? before and now I adore him. I die a little inside when I watch this movie and when I hear his music. I'm so sad that he's gone. It isn't fair that we had to lose him, of all people. The same goes for Prince. Of all of the people that could have died, we lost them. They'll never truly be gone, though. They will live on.
shannon campbell same, I was matching this movie when I was a little girl, and I finally watched it now and realized the reason I liked him so much...😅
I completely agree with you my friend. 80s and 90s in regard to music and movies have no comparison with nowadays "artistical expresions"....those were times of magic and perfection, good taste and excellent performances of real artist...now, unfortunately we have poor ideas, bad acting and most of the time bad taste. The taste changes throughout the time and new generations prefer justin biebers to Guns n Roses, Bad "fucking" Bonnies to Queen...or Bon Jovi etc...fast and furious to masterpieces like Braveheart or Gladiator or this delicious movie we got here. Even series are not what they used to be (Alf, the Simpsons, The A team, The Nanny, Different Strikes and so on). Now we got maluma tormenting our ears with bad voice and poor-disgusting ideas...as if were a "Poe" nightmare tale (I guess not even Poe could have invented such a striking torture)...well I got depressed I'll see the clip again. 😒
+ToothlessGTI I started crying the second the intro started. I still cant believe that the goblin king left us. it breaks my heart to know that i never got the chance to attend his concerts.
+Maria Villa I feel you totally. Not often I cry as a grown man but this legend was a big part of my life growing up. I too wish I was able to see him live. I'm breaking out his vinyls tomorrow in his honor.

This has always been one of my favorite movies, but the truth is a lot of it is incredibly slow and boring. Only a handful of scenes are memorable. A remake could be amazing.
Ich bin heute 24 jahre alt, ich liebe diesen film. Meine mutter und ich haben ihn immer geschaut, heute ist sie nicht mehr hier. Aber meine Erinnerungen zu diesem film und zu so vielen Erinnerungen bleiben 🤍💫
who's closed their eyes and listened to this and imagined being her? i think bowies voice was the best in this type of genre, he was amazing at this type of music
I never loved a fictional man before until I saw this. That was a long time ago, and the magic and memories have deepened for me. This is a love story of beauty, longing, unrequieted love. We can all relate. Thank you to Jim Henson (another Starman) for his vision, and thank you to David Bowie for his creation of the goblin king. This film will always be part of my world. He will always be in my heart. Love you forever, David Bowie.
Thank you for this post! Made me cry a bit. Feel all the same in every way. This movie was my child hood but a lasting piece forever at the same time. How I have watched something all these years but still has the ability to take me back is pretty magical.
My son and I watched this movie over and over. He married his beautiful girl Friday. And not surprisingly they danced their first dance to "Falling Down". I sang this to him when he was little and it was perfectly suited for them.
Every time I watch this I keep remembering a theory I had with this movie as a kid, that the girl character is persephone reincarnated and the goblin king is actually the king of the underworld hades and he's been trying to find persephone and how they been found is the baby and girl somehow died in their sleep before the goblin king showed up it's dark but would be a neat theory but I never liked how they are dead factor it was disturbing even when I thought about it when I was a kid and still is so I never thought about til every time I watch the movie it keeps coming back now I'm grown maybe people would look at it in a different way like I've had for 14 almost 15 years
This was when I had my first crush..I was 7 years old and this scene up above was when i fell in love with him. He just had this aura that was so compelling to me. For some reason I remember making up a story telling my Mom and Dad that my brother's girlfriend Jessica had this huge crush on Jareth and as I was telling them this I said things like "that is so gross right!?". When in reality it was me who had this HUGE crush on him..I just wanted to see what they would say about it..I remember being so incredibly embarrassed to tell my parents I loved him because it was the first time I really admired someone and had these feelings I never felt...even if it was a celebrity! Little did I know they knew all about my crush from the beginning. I guess they caught me pretending to be Sarah dancing with Jareth trying to recreate this scene. Shortly after, my Father introduced me to his music apart from The Labyrinth's soundtrack and the first song I listened to was "Space Oddity" and from then on I fell in love with David Bowie. Him as this crazily talented, genuine person.. You will always be a Shining Star beautiful Bowie. I love you.
+Helen Skyee Oh my god I feel you, girl. I've been having a lot of trouble not getting emotional when I think of him and your comment just made me lose it.
Paul LaPierre yeah it will be my wedding song :) ***** Same..I can't even listen to Blackstar without balling my eyes out. He was something special. I'm happy to even have been alive when he was still making music. He will live on forever.
I would like to take a moment to thank my amazing, and awesome mom. She introduced me to classics like this from a young age. It's been my favorite movie ever since, and I will always be grateful to her for it. ❤️ She's still alive, just wanted to appreciate her for a moment.
I was 8 when this movie came out. I didn’t get to see it at the theater but my sister taped it VHS from it airing on HBO later. This part was always one of my faves. I would sway along to the dancing as the music played, wishing I could be Sarah and in love with the Goblin King. It’s always been a dream of mine to play this at a masquerade party. I think everyone should dress up in these characters and it would be so cool. I totally would’ve stayed with the Goblin King. I love Bowie and his awesomeness. Thank you for making my childhood wonderful and making me a complete fan as an adult. RIP David, we all still love you very much.
Man I was obsessed with this movie at one point 😅😁 one time when my brother wouldn't stop crying I put him in his crib and yelled "Goblin King please come take this baby away!" And waited hoping he was gone 😂😂😂 unfortunately he was still crying 😅😂
+debra wolf, I agree. but I am a male not a female and if I kissed him, I'd be a lesbians. only a female can kiss a boy or male but children... wrong answer.
From the opening chords, I am lost! I've lost count how often I have listened to this song. it's thousands!!This film did NOT get the accolades it deserved when it debuted. I remember when it first came out. I fell in love with David Bowie then & have loved him ever since. There was something magical about him, he brought uniqueness & wonder to every song & every role. I cannot believe he has passed away. The world doesn't feel the same now that he is gone.
if I was sarah fuck I would have stayed in the labyrinth and kissed him unconditionally yes for sure I would of married him too and be his beauty queen goblin.

As a boy when i watched this i didn't notice anything about her, but now, my god she has to be one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. That look she gives...wow.
I was 10 years old at the time, loved this movie, I will say that Sarah was my 1st crush..... I love The Muppets which is why I was taken to see Labyrinth at the cinema. In 2016, I went to the local cinema to see the 30th anniversary of Labyrinth and tribute to David Bowie RIP, I was 40 then, the magic was still there, I cried listening to this beautiful song..... I'm 46 now, I am a big fan of David Bowie now thanks to this movie. This was actually the 2nd time I saw Labyrinth at the cinema exactly 30 years later!!!! It's now my favourite song. The cinema showed it again in 2019 so of course I went to see it. It is so so magical, due to the genius that is Jim Henson. Labyrinth has a special place in my heart and is the only "musical" I'll watch. If I'll ever have a special lady or ever get married, this will be my song to her.
I consider David Bowie aka goblin king the first guy I ever had a crush on. I was a really little when I frist saw this movie. From that day on I had such a respect for him. It's very rare that I become emotional over a death of someone that I didn't even know. This time is different. Rest In Peace my first make believe boyfriend. I was probably about 5 years old.
+emjayyap same here, I was 7 I think 💔 it's somewhat nice that I'm not the only one feeling so emotional, considering we never met him. But we didn't need to, for we loved his beautiful soul. He will live in our hearts forever, as the sweetest memory.
I feel the same! Even though you don't know them personally... They meant so much and it's so emotional :s you totally summed up how I feel completely! David Bowie won't RIP though... Wherever he is he'll still be the same quirky innovative person he always was! ❤️
Fun fact they wanted Michael Jackson to play the goblin King at first but he turned it down I'm so glad I think it's made for bowie
I had no idea! but yes I’m so glad they went with Bowie he was perfect for the role
Actually he didn’t turn down the role, they didn’t even ask him the crew named popular artist at the time and as soon as they said David Bowie’s name the director said he would be a perfect candidate for the role.
I’m a big MJ fan but I believe that the role was made for only Bowie 🥺
That would’ve been so bleak Considering the fact the film is an allegory for being groomed and date raped….
He could have pulled the look but mj has to high of a voice for the role, Bowie was perfect
if you’re reading this, you’re either an adult or a well raised kid.
cool
I'm an adult passing the torch to my children... XD
Aw thanks
I was a kid when I fell in love with this movie and still head over heels til this day and I'm 21
Both :)
NOW THAT I'M REWATCHING THIS MOVIE, I can only picture how respectful David was towards women. Jennifer was only 14 or 15 while filming this and during the dance scene, you can see that Bowie is keeping his distance from his chest and watching where he touches to make sure that Jennifer was comfortable! What a gentleman! May he rest in peace!
You do know he slept with a 14-year old and 15-year-old, right?
@@elizabethanstak330 was accused of. And why weren’t these accusations made until after he died?
She was 16 still nasty
@@elizabethanstak330 That was never proven. He had deep respect for Jennifer while filming this movie. Nothing weird happened.
@🌸Sakura🌸 They're not actually offended, they're just trying to get approval from the cancel culture.
No one has commented on how beautiful Jennifer's hair looks with the silver lace and jewelry woven through it? The costumes in this scene absolutely blow me away every time I see it.
I totally agree, I love the ball gown and the way her hair is dressed. It just so beautiful 😍
I love the look of Jennifer in this video. It's so elegant and beautiful😍
She is just beautiful then and now.
Love this movie.
Just so much happy escapism.
Yes her hair is so much more lovely than ur rat locks giant feet kid downloader … get some respect .. go away , this is my phone ! Enjoy ur own evening nasty woman x
Totally agree with you. All the costumes are one of Labyrinth best things. This part of the movie is one of my favorites.
This is gonna play at my non-exsistent wedding.

I love this whole comment thread 💜
The Ballroom is my favorite part of the movie. It's dark, decadent, and yet so magical. Jareth is trying to seduce Sarah but it's Sarah that has him enchanted. It's beautiful.
The strength it must have taken to run away from him lol
Yup they were showing the Occult also she was under 18 in this so it's borderline Pedophilia.
But back then things were seen from a much more innocent perspective and yes it was my favorite part.
That is a very good point
I agree! I remember thinking that, when this film first debuted in 1986. That it seemed like, against his own dark nature, Jareth was being charmed by Sarah. Its a shame his evil side won out.
There is actually a labyrinth comic i have been wanting yo read (i only have the second half) and one pf the covers has this scene i fell in love all over again
I would stay with David Bowie in his magic bubble forever.
Same 😍😍😍😍
I admit I'd really.....really be tempted! 🥰🥰
u already are. woooooooooow... under a spell. WAKE UP

"Anemoia- a nostaglia for a time you've never known" This gives me such strong feelings of anemoia. Deep deep sorrow, desire, love, longing and sadness I cant possibly comprehend.
Me too. I just discovered this movie last week and I just keep rewatching some scenes over and over to feel anemoia I guess. Glad there's a word for it
@@HappyKat-wc4ld My fave movie. The word compliments it perfectly~ Im so glad you like it^^
This feeling was described in a whole book called “Surprised by Joy” by CS Lewis
@@scipio8866 I've heard great things Abt CS Lewis, I'll check that out
The 80s movies had a knack for stimulating the feeling of anemoia.
This scene is so incredibly crafted. It has a tone of beauty, love, darkness, manipulation, purity, connection,and danger all in one. Not a word spoken, just eye contact of the actors and how they are blocked, and the beautiful choreography and music. Bravo Jim Henson!
I know, it's great :)
Well said and exactly that.

It might explain their almost stoner-like behavior at times if they pretty much were as intoxicated as she in this moment...
Can we just appreciate how his brows and highlight is better than 90% of the girls on Instagram?
I love this comment so much
David was always fabulous.
Alexis Arrington idk he looks kinda like a vulkin
Louisa Crettenden Nah, I'd say more Fae-like than Vulcan. Vulcans don't exactly do bright eye shadow. xD
And that nose contour!
My girlfriend wants this to be our wedding song, after years of forgetting about this movie I think it’s safe to say that we’re gonna get married
My sister walked down the aisle to this song, it was magical ✨

I hope there's no remake or sequel. Nothing will ever be as amazingly cast as this. Such a beautiful crafted film from start to finish, that will never be captured by today's cinematography. Anything else would just ruin it. Plus, there is absolutely nobody on this planet that could ever replace David Bowie. Ever.
Amen. It’s a classic like “Gone with the wind” or “It’s a wonderful life” in my opinion
There technically is a sequel on comic form that's kinda crappy.
On the plus side, there's also an excellent prequel comic that gives us an origin story for Jareth and how he became the Goblin King.
@@PopfulFrost what is the sequel and prequel called?
@@Y0urM0msHouseI currently don’t remember but it’s on the Wikipedia page
💯 so so true! No one could ever replace bowie or the songs he did for this movie it is just perfect as it is when I watch this movie it's like a time machine to my childhood love love LOVE THIS MOVIE! 🤗 ❤❤❤❤❤

The sad part is, had she followed her heart for him, she would have got everything she wanted, including him, Toby and all she wanted. He even said so with a clever play on words.
As the little worm said to her, can't take nothing for granted, she kept that in mind, ironically she didn't catch on to what Jareth was trying to tell her.
Damn, the writing in Labyrinth is so damn good. Underated.
He would have turned her into a goblin. Like the others at the ball. Now that I think about it, the goblin king reminds me of Ursula, when she turned mermaids to crap.
@@rolandreyna215 I think the goblin king could not be trusted

You’ve never heard of David Bowie ? And I never heard or thought of him as gay , he was a “New Romantic “
@@SpecialOrder935 I honestly nvr heard of him. So he wasn't? Hmm... I would of bet he was just by that look he gave in that scene you pointed out. Either way it doesn't matter I was just curious cause according to the comments he was a very famous person.
It's not Labyrinth without David Bowie...no David Bowie, no Labyrinth sequel!
Number 1. I agree!!
Second: +Respect for the Gollum PfP!!

Agreed!
Me watching this scene as a kid:
Cool.
Me watching this scene as an adult:
HOLY SH*T, HE'S IN LOVE WITH HER!!!
This is exactly what I had too xD
I had a crush on him then and STILL do (sigh)
Hiw did you understand
Yes !
Ew shes like 14
I saw this at the cinema when it was first released, I was 12 years old.. I fell in love with The Goblin King and played this scene over and over, wishing I was Sarah and he looked at me like that...I'm 46 now and I still fall in love with him every time xx
Dude he was way too old for her, but perfect fantasy material especially with that magic codpiece and his thin white duke ensemble.
I agree!! I'm 47 now & fell in love with David when this film came out......& ever since. I still do. That grin was almost everything charming you could imagine! I became a huge fan of his music & several others of his films. I miss him so much, the world isn't the same without him. 😢😢😢
@@juliapigworthy Interestingly, age had nothing to do with it & no one even commented on that when it debuted. Because it was looked at for what it was, as you said: fantasy material. And nothing sexual happened, not even a kiss, so no one would have blinked an eye in the '80s. It was thought of like Beauty & the Beast, or Cinderella-like. GOD How I miss the 1980s. :D
bah bah black sheep,/. this movie is about mind control. holy shit please wake up.
Well they say age is just a number. It's how mature you are that counts.
Ugh…the very look he gives her just before he approached her to dance and as he’s walking towards her melts me every single time…🥴 it screams, “mine”.❤
I guess the reason why I will never be the heroine of a story is because I would get 10000% seduced straightaway and there would be no story 😂🤣

This scene just makes me feel a strange sadness. Like the last time seeing someone you care for, but can't help. Love this movie.
Totally the best scene in the whole movie. And Labyrinth has so many great scenes. Its magical, creepy and mystical while deeply romantic.
yes its so romantic. having a 15 year old girl being led astray because shes trying to rescue her baby brother from a demon.
oh joy.
This girl herself asked the goblins to take her brother away! And the little boy had a good time with the goblins.
and he's not a demon
What a simple-minded, juvenile, tone deaf reductionistic piece of tripe criticism. "There is NO HOPE for the excessively literal minded," none, no aesthetic evolution of taste is possible. You can stick with the likes of Fast and Furious films, Giant Tractor Pulls, and goofball Super-Hero bilge, that's about your speed evidently, and realize, no one will takes your whining, emotionally deadened nonsense seriously as a reason not to enjoy this film, this scene, nothing, capiche? Case closed, no appeals!@@_RobBanks
It’s a memory movie. I carry this movie forever in my mind. David Bowie is one of my favorite singers.
He’s not a demon. He’s her conscience.
I would have stayed. I would have married Jareth, lived in the castle beyond the Goblin City, and raised Toby together. With Ludo, Sir Didymus and Ambrosius and Hoggle as my best friends, I would have been the queen of the Labyrinth. Damn it, Sarah. You traded all that for your clueless, detached father and bitchy stepmother.
+Katie Frank
My my you sure have a wild imagination don't you.
+Katie Frank While I totally agree, that would sort of negate the whole point of the coming-of-age story.
+Katie Frank Nah, I would have returned Toby to bitch stepmother and then gone back to Jareth and do the rest of what you would have done ;)

omg that intro with her on her costume and then she grabs the skirt and starts running on jeans and regular shoes so perfect :3
This was my all time favorite movie scene as a kid. The nostalgia is real here
To get David Bowie to do all the songs in this movie was pure genius.
She is gorgeous and so grown up...he is beautiful in makeup and it's dreamlike till the chair shatters the illusion xxx
Still watch this movie.
One of my favourites!
RIP

This part always gives me chills, she looks beautiful and David looks hypnotizing, the song, the ballroom and the outfits are amazing, such a beautiful movie
Same here! I still get goosebumps. This movie is amazing in so many different ways.
For me the most striking thing about this scene is just how everyone is moving so much but they're all looking right at her. It's unnerving.
Jennifer Connelly is so stunning in this movie. This movie was an instant classic. I hope they NEVER remake the movie, they just going to ruin a master piece.
Sierra.Taekwondo.85 amen.
I totally agree
Sierra.Taekwondo.85 AMEN
Sierra.Taekwondo.85 My favorite movie with her was Requiem For a Dream.
I agree. The plot and acting could use some improvement, but there will never be another goblin king
Fan Theory: What if all the other guests at the masquerade ball are the previous human forms of the goblins that live in the labrynth? It would make sense because Jareth is almost always around the goblin horde and all the masks they are wearing are very goblinlike. What do you think?
I've heard a similar theory like this. Another one said that there were many Sarahs that came before who got lost in the Labrynth. That's why when Sarah talked to Hoggle for the first time, he wasn't surprised when she mentioned her name.
Omg such a good theory!!!!
I think some of the previous Sarah's were turned into those trash ladies too. Sarah almost became one of them when the lady started piling her toys onto her, and I assume they couldn't remember what they were looking for just like Sarah couldn't after this scene.
I like it!
Stop because I just told my sister a theory of my that was pretty much spot on to yours-
I first saw this in 1992 on VHS at the age of seven. A classmate brought this to our classroom. When I saw this scene, I fell in love with Jennifer Connelly. Even today, she still looks amazing.
I tried to play this movie for my first grade class, but apparently since it was rated PG, I wasn’t allowed to. We were only allowed to show G rated Movies in first grade. I was so angry because I just recently watched this movie and it was awesome. This is circa 2000 still a great classic.
The voice of David Bowie, oh my God it's love for the ears
You don't think she'd be interested in a feeble little scab like yew dew yew? "She siad we was.." What? Bosom companions? .."friends"?
Both of them are so hotdamn gorgeous in this scene, my eyes are not worthy of all this beauty

So true beautiful its spell bounding I loved his music since I was a teenager now my daughter has picked up from me .the fabulous david Bowie .
And Jennifer Connely was 16(jailbait) in this movie 🤣
No way Jennifer didn't have a crush on him while filming this 😂 age gap or not bowie was hot as hell during this
I've never heard her say anything about that, but I hope she did, regardless.
Edit: I've heard her say in interviews that she knew about him and was familiar with some of his songs prior to filming, but didn't really know much about him. She says she ended up liking him and that he was really nice to her, but I don't think she knew enough about him at the start to really develop a crush on him.
I’m 17 atm and David was my first celebrity crush from watching this movie I think was always 11ish years old
Bowie in Labyrinth was my 1st love. He was so effing hot. I loved those crooked teeth.
Nyx Loves Music OMG SO TRUE HE WAS LITERALLY MY CHILDHOOD CRUSH 🤣🤣🤣💜
@@jofa6415 he had bad teeth though
I have watched this movie since its release in 1986. Mind you I was 4 years old. I would pray every night to God to make me an adult so I could marry David Bowie. Silly, I know. But this movie made me closer to my stepdad who is a huge Bowie fan, and it also brought me closer to my grandpa, who passed away in 2012. My dad and I bonded over Bowies music, and grandpa and I bonded over this movie. My daughter loved this movie as a child, and now I get to pass it on to my step grandkids who absolutely love this movie. Words can not express how much this movie and the soundtrack truly means to me. R.I.P. both David and Jim. You may be gone from this earth, but the magic you had is very much with us all today. ❤❤
Not many songs are better than this. Magic. Truly transportive, like few works of arts are. I totally get lost in this song, brought to another world.
The smirk David Bowie gives as she wanders past always made my heart skip beats
Same here! OMG He is almost Devil-like, seductive yet naughty. I fell in love with Bowie here & have loved him ever since. I miss him so much.
"Damn you Jareth ... and damn me too!" Well yes Hoggle, but thanks to that peach, we got to hear this wonderful piece of music.
Hogwarts: oh no I did a terrible thing!!!
Us: well yes but actually no
Precisely
😀 wonderful is right
So sad we will never get movies like this again so glad I grew up with this! It transported me into a whole nother world and just made me more creative and imaginative
The way Jareth sings the song to Sarah just makes my heart cry, this is the best scene in the movie for sure-
The way Jareth looks at her when she’s running away, his heart broke right there but he knew deep down she would make it, and she gave everything she ever wished for, including Jareth.
The eye contact, gosh you could feel everything by just observing.❤️😩
He's so attractive in this scene my gosh, rest in peace Goblin King
He makes a hot goblin king. :p
Yes I agree
And Sarah was looking especially delicious during this scene (of course this is coming from a 52 year old man who was only 25 or 26 when he saw this movie for the first time)
Jennifer Connolly is so gorgeous as well
Of course he is, he is David Bowie.
If we don’t get married to this song, you clearly don’t understand me and ain’t worth it
An clearly if you choose music like this for a wedding I want to marry you

Let’s do it 💍💍
well actually, I just talked to my soon-to-be wife about dancing to this, and she said yes. I'm currently wiping my tears :')
I think I was just 5 when I first watched this movie, and it's strange I still have this daydream feeling in love with someone I haven't even met yet whenever I hear this song 🧡🍂.
Same
....."I am waiting for you,.... it's all that I can do."
If there's a remake, I think Harry Styles has some similar features to be the Goblin King 🙄 I can't think someone else other than him. Aaaand... for as Sarah, perhaps like Mckenzy Foy? 🤔 age gaps between two leads is a good factor to create great romantic chemistry since it's fantasy. 😊🥰
There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
Within your heart
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings though we're strangers 'til now
We're choosing the path
Between the stars
I'll leave my love
Between the stars
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
There are a lot of parallels with Phantom of the Opera in this masterpiece. The older man in love with the younger girl, the mask, the masquerade ball, the seduction through music. Such a lovely movie.
Pedro Santos huh maybe that’s why i like it so much... and david ofc.
Pedro I definitely agree with you. Both are my favorites.
Then you will love girlsnextdoorcomic here on CZcams or check Pika la cynique artwork.

@@zimriel Thank you! People are completely misinterpreting Jareth just cus they got a crush on him 🤦🏽♀️ He has her there against her will and won't give her brother back, something she desperately wants. The sus age gap aside, this would be a very toxic relationship. All these comments tell me is that these people would be turned into Goblins real quick 😂😂
Watching this scene makes my heart ache. It has always made me long for something that never existed. It also makes me sad, knowing that our Goblin King is no longer with us...
Dannii Young 😭😭
I feel exactly the same :(
"It made me long for something that never
existed".
You literally read my mind; I watched Labyrinth when I was 8 years old and all through my life I have expected from my relationships something that was unreal, therefore unreachable.
It hurts and always will.
Saudade
Dannii Young oh fudge right in the feels
I think about this scene on a regular basis. It's just perfection
By far this is one of those movies that will forever have an imprint in your heart & mind especially if you had watched it as a young child...My daughter had the exact same reaction I did after watching it & started crying cause she didn't want (Jareth David bowie to go away)
I know I'm a straight dude, but damn... Jareth is hot.
double floors no doubt
David Bowie is EVERYONE"S sexual orientation. Gay and Straight have no meaning in his presence
You're not a straight dude. Lol.

Are you sure...?
Jeez, Sarah. Move over for those of us who DO want to dance with/be serenaded by David Bowie.
I know right?
Right !
if I was in her place, I would never leave. EVER
Lol yeeeess
that's what he wants! he was lonely and nobody got that! *sigh*
This has been instilled in me since 5.
I mean obsessed.
I'm turning 13 in 2 days and labrynth is my favourite film my mum would always watch it with me and I am about to paint a mural based on this film ❤

Played this at my wedding last year. It was my our father daughter dance. As Labyrinth was our film when I was a child. Week before the wedding my dad was told go home and enjoy your time left with your family. This song was so fitting for us. Will always be our song. My dear dad died 6 weeks later xxxx

there is something about this song that is haunting. i can't really put my finger on it. this is still one of my favorite movie.
It's the exact sound and notes in the Bass Guitar pattern. A different type of instrument wouldn't sound as sweet, a different pattern of notes would sound as juicy.
I call it a melancholy feeling.
It's called chromaticism, along with Wagnerian chord progressions. Tear-jerking stuff, every time!! :)
@@nudist0885 It's such a pleasure to play this on the bass
It haunts the soul because it's perfect and beautiful you want it to happen but you know deep down it is impossible and doomed still its what you would want for yourself something pure and beautiful a little naughty but as I said sometimes only sometimes it comes true.
Ok but how did Jennifer Connelly skip the awkward teenage years? She was (still is!) naturally so beautiful. Bowie will always be the hypnotic Goblin King❤
awkward?

David Bowie has that effect...a girl merely close enough to the proximity of his Bowie-ness automatically turns her into a woman
He is and always be the Goblin King
I'm glad to have grown up with this masterpiece as well as all the other greats, anyone over 35 agree??
I first saw this movie when I was about 6 years old. I took the videotape from a friend and so I found out about this film. As a child, I watched this film many times. Now I am 27 and it takes me back to my childhood when I hear this song. I reviewed the "labyrinth" last year. Feelings are the warmest and nostalgic. It's good when there are songs and films that can take you back to childhood.
I thought I was the only one who fell in love to David Bowie from this movie. His smile, eyes and voice melt my heart. And I was just a kid back then.
perfect time to get in your head at that age, memories galore
Nope..I did too, and my cousin and the other neighborhood girls. I was like 7 when this movie came out.
Nope! I first really saw David Bowie in "Labyrinth".....& I was lost. Hopelessly, wonderfully, dreamily lost in love! :) I have been a huge fan of his ever since & always will. Then I discovered his other works, his music & films. I miss him still. The world is not the same without him.
BRO ME TOO SOMETHING ABOUT HIM MADE ME WILD
Yeah they're not getting it. It's spell casting, it's to mesmerize kids into believing that it's OK to feel sexual feelings towards and adult.
2020: still remember this song.
Edit: 2021✌🥺💖
Hell yeah. You have my have my respect if you know and recognize the masterpiece that was and is this song. The movie and the soundtrack were way ahead of their time and Bowie pulled off one of the coldest villains imo. This movie and NeverEnding Story are definitely amazing. If you haven't you should look up the making of reverence and see how much work they actually put into all of those goblins and very short creatures. So much makeup wardrobe and work and time went into this. Did the vagabonde.. the old lady in the gigantic landfill / junkyard also scare the living shit out of you as a child? She was like no help at all. One of my favorite parts of the movie where those tiny creatures that would come and take the stone or whatever she had written the arrows on and turn it around to get you lost even more.
amazing movie and song :D
This is my favorite movie, and this is the song I listen to when I’m in quarantine, it always makes me forget things on my mind, this song is like a drug.

db is so stunningly beautiful in this film. I still can't believe he's gone, still crying.
+louise collins I'm ashamed to say this, but I never truly appreciated his music until I saw this film. I grew up listening to classic rock because that's what my parents would always play. They didn't listen to David so I never really did until just now. I'm just discovering all of his wonderful music. I had heard Changes and Life On Mars? before and now I adore him. I die a little inside when I watch this movie and when I hear his music. I'm so sad that he's gone. It isn't fair that we had to lose him, of all people. The same goes for Prince. Of all of the people that could have died, we lost them. They'll never truly be gone, though. They will live on.
+louise collins and yes, he definitely is. This is probably the most beautiful that I've ever seen him

This is one of the most important movies that has ever been made and all of time seriously

I'll tell you something - the 80's were an amazing time to watch films at the cinema. labyrinth had alot of music videos within it
I completely agree with you my friend. 80s and 90s in regard to music and movies have no comparison with nowadays "artistical expresions"....those were times of magic and perfection, good taste and excellent performances of real artist...now, unfortunately we have poor ideas, bad acting and most of the time bad taste. The taste changes throughout the time and new generations prefer justin biebers to Guns n Roses, Bad "fucking" Bonnies to Queen...or Bon Jovi etc...fast and furious to masterpieces like Braveheart or Gladiator or this delicious movie we got here. Even series are not what they used to be (Alf, the Simpsons, The A team, The Nanny, Different Strikes and so on). Now we got maluma tormenting our ears with bad voice and poor-disgusting ideas...as if were a "Poe" nightmare tale (I guess not even Poe could have invented such a striking torture)...well I got depressed I'll see the clip again. 😒
I always felt she was so privileged to dance with Bowie. Probably my most loved song of something I can’t explain x
Oggi a 39 anni lo guardo ancora come quando ero un bambino . Che dire film bellissimo e musica fantastica. Grazie David ❤
rest in peace. i will always remember Bowie and his Amazing work.
+Maria Villa Ugh. Came right here. RIP.
This is a sad day. Hard to listen to this song without getting emotional. Rest in peace David Bowie.

Well now, I use to think that, until I heard and saw Dimash Kudaibergen sing. I think he would make an excellent Goblin King.
This has always been one of my favorite movies, but the truth is a lot of it is incredibly slow and boring. Only a handful of scenes are memorable. A remake could be amazing.
Ich bin heute 24 jahre alt, ich liebe diesen film. Meine mutter und ich haben ihn immer geschaut, heute ist sie nicht mehr hier. Aber meine Erinnerungen zu diesem film und zu so vielen Erinnerungen bleiben 🤍💫
Grew up to this movie. Literally have watched it hundreds of times. In my 40’s I still yearn to go to a party like this
who's closed their eyes and listened to this and imagined being her? i think bowies voice was the best in this type of genre, he was amazing at this type of music
No one wanted to be locked in a labyrinth by the evil goblin king 😂
L B nah I imagined to be the goblin king
I think everyone who saw this was kind of jealous of Jennifer Connelly in this scene- I certainly am!
I have to admit I have a crush on Sara
ME!! ME! ME I DID!! 🙌🙌
I never loved a fictional man before until I saw this. That was a long time ago, and the magic and memories have deepened for me. This is a love story of beauty, longing, unrequieted love. We can all relate. Thank you to Jim Henson (another Starman) for his vision, and thank you to David Bowie for his creation of the goblin king. This film will always be part of my world. He will always be in my heart. Love you forever, David Bowie.
I agree with all of this.
Thank you for this post! Made me cry a bit. Feel all the same in every way. This movie was my child hood but a lasting piece forever at the same time. How I have watched something all these years but still has the ability to take me back is pretty magical.
Same
And mines 💓
My son and I watched this movie over and over. He married his beautiful girl Friday. And not surprisingly they danced their first dance to "Falling Down". I sang this to him when he was little and it was perfectly suited for them.
Every time I watch this I keep remembering a theory I had with this movie as a kid, that the girl character is persephone reincarnated and the goblin king is actually the king of the underworld hades and he's been trying to find persephone and how they been found is the baby and girl somehow died in their sleep before the goblin king showed up it's dark but would be a neat theory but I never liked how they are dead factor it was disturbing even when I thought about it when I was a kid and still is so I never thought about til every time I watch the movie it keeps coming back now I'm grown maybe people would look at it in a different way like I've had for 14 almost 15 years
Omg that's an amazing theory! To say that you've had a thought like this 😵... You're genius wow cause it actually makes so much sense 👌
When I was a child, I was completely in love with Jareth.. I'm adult, I'm in love yet
Me2😁😁
OMG! Same! I had such a crazy crush on him when I first saw this film! (which was when I was 8 years old). My sister thought I was going nuts!
Mina Sousa I locked myself in a room for a month when David Bowie died
Mina I'm a child (well, teen), and I'm in love with him. And I have a feeling that I will be as an adult, too!
This was when I had my first crush..I was 7 years old and this scene up above was when i fell in love with him. He just had this aura that was so compelling to me.
For some reason I remember making up a story telling my Mom and Dad that my brother's girlfriend Jessica had this huge crush on Jareth and as I was telling them this I said things like "that is so gross right!?".
When in reality it was me who had this HUGE crush on him..I just wanted to see what they would say about it..I remember being so incredibly embarrassed to tell my parents I loved him because it was the first time I really admired someone and had these feelings I never felt...even if it was a celebrity!
Little did I know they knew all about my crush from the beginning. I guess they caught me pretending to be Sarah dancing with Jareth trying to recreate this scene.
Shortly after, my Father introduced me to his music apart from The Labyrinth's soundtrack and the first song I listened to was "Space Oddity" and from then on I fell in love with David Bowie. Him as this crazily talented, genuine person..
You will always be a Shining Star beautiful Bowie. I love you.
Literally same 😂
love u for sharing that
i feel for him too and all about this movie.
he was something else, i cant even describe. xoxo mate
this song will be in my wedding playlist
+Helen Skyee Oh my god I feel you, girl. I've been having a lot of trouble not getting emotional when I think of him and your comment just made me lose it.
Paul LaPierre yeah it will be my wedding song :)
*****
Same..I can't even listen to Blackstar without balling my eyes out. He was something special. I'm happy to even have been alive when he was still making music. He will live on forever.
I would like to take a moment to thank my amazing, and awesome mom. She introduced me to classics like this from a young age. It's been my favorite movie ever since, and I will always be grateful to her for it. ❤️ She's still alive, just wanted to appreciate her for a moment.
I was 8 when this movie came out. I didn’t get to see it at the theater but my sister taped it VHS from it airing on HBO later. This part was always one of my faves. I would sway along to the dancing as the music played, wishing I could be Sarah and in love with the Goblin King. It’s always been a dream of mine to play this at a masquerade party. I think everyone should dress up in these characters and it would be so cool. I totally would’ve stayed with the Goblin King. I love Bowie and his awesomeness. Thank you for making my childhood wonderful and making me a complete fan as an adult. RIP David, we all still love you very much.
Man I was obsessed with this movie at one point 😅😁 one time when my brother wouldn't stop crying I put him in his crib and yelled "Goblin King please come take this baby away!" And waited hoping he was gone 😂😂😂 unfortunately he was still crying 😅😂
Hahaha loved this comment😂
Still one of my fave movies of all time (big Bowie fan also)... Could listen to this song for hours... 36 years later 😂
But they weren't "the right words".
it's "Goblin King I wish you would take this baby away right now!"
“Did she say it?”
I can't stop watching this video. David Bowie is breathtaking,
+debra wolf, I agree. but I am a male not a female and if I kissed him, I'd be a lesbians. only a female can kiss a boy or male but children... wrong answer.
what?
I know right!!!
@Beck-o: It still hurts so badly to mention his name in the past tense.
Thanks to film and photography, David Bowie will be breathtaking 'so long as men can breathe, or eyes can see'.
Everytime I watch this movie or hear the music, especially this one, it always melts my heart at the unrequited love in this movie. ❤💔
RIP Bowie⚡️
Even tho he was intentionally distracting her .... Jareth was beautiful in this scene ... Mesmerizing ❤️❤️ RIP David Bowie
2:12 is where I was forever madly in love with Bowie. The moment he grabs her to dance woke something up inside of me. Bowie, you were a gem.
That look in his eyes ....
my dad showed me this movie as a kid and i never stopped watching it, im going to high school next year and i still love this movie more than anything
From the opening chords, I am lost! I've lost count how often I have listened to this song. it's thousands!!This film did NOT get the accolades it deserved when it debuted. I remember when it first came out. I fell in love with David Bowie then & have loved him ever since. There was something magical about him, he brought uniqueness & wonder to every song & every role.
I cannot believe he has passed away. The world doesn't feel the same now that he is gone.
I would have kissed him like crazy and never stopped - clocks and babies be damned!!
SAME.
Hahaha funny comment
if I was sarah fuck I would have stayed in the labyrinth and kissed him unconditionally yes for sure I would of married him too and be his beauty queen goblin.
Ugh, right???
Sup in these days i really spent a certain amount of time to make a tribute about jennifer connelly, i tried to match song and cutscene in the best way i could. I know its sound kinda lame but if you are a fan of 80's music check it out and let me know your thoughts!
Thanks for reading me! czcams.com/video/VqmNK24RnGw/video.html
As a boy when i watched this i didn't notice anything about her, but now, my god she has to be one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. That look she gives...wow.
I was 10 years old at the time, loved this movie, I will say that Sarah was my 1st crush..... I love The Muppets which is why I was taken to see Labyrinth at the cinema. In 2016, I went to the local cinema to see the 30th anniversary of Labyrinth and tribute to David Bowie RIP, I was 40 then, the magic was still there, I cried listening to this beautiful song..... I'm 46 now, I am a big fan of David Bowie now thanks to this movie. This was actually the 2nd time I saw Labyrinth at the cinema exactly 30 years later!!!! It's now my favourite song. The cinema showed it again in 2019 so of course I went to see it. It is so so magical, due to the genius that is Jim Henson. Labyrinth has a special place in my heart and is the only "musical" I'll watch. If I'll ever have a special lady or ever get married, this will be my song to her.
Loved David in this movie, and the music was amazing.🥰🥰🥰
I consider David Bowie aka goblin king the first guy I ever had a crush on. I was a really little when I frist saw this movie. From that day on I had such a respect for him. It's very rare that I become emotional over a death of someone that I didn't even know. This time is different.
Rest In Peace my first make believe boyfriend.
I was probably about 5 years old.
I was 11, I feel you. :-)
+emjayyap same here, I was 7 I think 💔 it's somewhat nice that I'm not the only one feeling so emotional, considering we never met him. But we didn't need to, for we loved his beautiful soul. He will live in our hearts forever, as the sweetest memory.
We understand😭
Same here. I was around 10 when the movie came out. I've never felt emotional about a celebrity passing before now.
I feel the same! Even though you don't know them personally... They meant so much and it's so emotional :s you totally summed up how I feel completely!
David Bowie won't RIP though... Wherever he is he'll still be the same quirky innovative person he always was! ❤️
