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

[ultra_fic]

 

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!

I was wondering if you were going to have both of these movies in your 100 things collection! You know my love of Labyrinth! Probably going to be popping that into the DVD player today for some inspiration. Love the Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland.

And I was wondering if you would comment on my post containing Labyrinth ;)

Love your icon. Some really cool person must've made that for you :P lol

Oh I wouldn't pass up a chance to comment on Labyrinth. :) Thanks. You're sure right a really cool person did make that icon and a few others for me! *grin* Catching up on the commenting and hoping the muses start co-operating again.

Haven't seen Labyrinth since I was a little kid, but we say that song all the time. "you look like the babe." I liked Alice in Wonderland, but only for Johny Depp. Oh and the Mad Queen... And I suppose Anne Hathaway (spelling?) .. okay so I like Alice. Don't own either of those films though. Made the quick icon just so I could post with something.

I heard great things about Labyrinth - it's on that list of mine already ;)

& Of course AiW! Although I have to say that as far as Mad Hatters go my heart belongs more to the Mad Hatter from Once Upon a Time now ;D

Ooh me too. He's awesome!

Move Labyrinth up the list, mate. It deserves it ;)

I haven't seen the Mad Hatter in OUAT yet. We've only had 10 episodes over here so far.
