[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Labyrinth & Alice in Wonderland

 

Ah, Labyrinth - so wrong its right. Come on, a movie thats main cast is all goblin-based puppets, Davie Bowie as their king, and a teen girl running around a maze for two hours to save her baby brother? It doesn't make sense, and yet you watch it, and you love it. Am I right? The soundtrack alone is wonderful, and though I was never much of a Bowie fan, Jareth is the best part of the whole thing!

Sticking on the fantasy angle, I really wasn't sure if I was going to like the new incarnation of Alice in Wonderland. I had the Disney animation as a kid and it was good but strange. This version seemed like a real acid trip when I saw the trailer, but it had Johnny Depp in it, so whats a girl to do? On watching the movie, I actually really enjoyed it, wacky as it was.

These are definitely two films to literally lose yourself in - total crazy fantasy!
