Labyrinth (1986)

Labyrinth is a fairly popular cult film of the 80's, amazingly growing up in the early 80's I never saw this film before now, so this was in some ways quite a treat. Jim Henson has always put forth amazing work in terms of puppetry, and I was a huge fan of much of his work while growing up such as Fraggle Rock, the original Muppet movies, and later on in the 90's a series inspired by Henson's work, Dinosaurs, which is still one of my top favorite TV shows. Labyrinth is definitely worth some of the praise it receives in terms of production value, but as an overall film there are major hindrances which keep this from being a solid classic.
