My Movie Rating

I absolutely love this movie and watch it a few times a year, at least. I also listen to quite a few songs from the soundtrack on a regular basis. Magic Dance, As The World Falls Down and Underground (all by David Bowie) are my top 3 favourites songs from the Labyrinth Soundtrack.

Rating: 5 out of 5.
