To threaten 'D'H with divorce if he ever refers to Labyrinth as "that rubbish" again.

DD and I love to sit and watch Labyrinth, we both love the Goblin King (albeit for different reasons as she is 5, and I am... not).

DH has declared it rubbish, I am most put out - I may have been cross about it for hours now - as even without Bowie appeal I think it's a fabulously imaginative film that definitely stands the test of time.

He thinks she should be watching something a bit more modern.

I think he's being a twat and thoroughly enjoy loud tuneless renditions of 'Dance Magic' with DD.

I am considering divorcing him for his clear lack of taste lighthearted threat... maybe

Loved it until my early twenties. Then made the mistake of re-watching it at 32 totally sober. Destroyed many a happy memory. Remember never to watch a movie which you thought was fab when you were younger 10 years later.

When we go to Alton Towers we go to where the wee sculptures are that look like the "one of us always lies & one of always tells the truth" doors & do some of their lines Grin

Love it!

Although "you have no power over me" at "I would have been your slave"?? What a divvy

We love this movie. Have yet to share it with DD2 who has just turned 1.

Don't think my DH has ever seen it.

DD1 & I watched Flight of the Navigator when it was on ITV during the week.

We also love The Goonies Smile

Mmmmmmmmmmm

The delectable Mr Bowie singing 'As the world falls down' while manipulating his balls.

Flight of the Navigator is also a classic, but doesn't have Mr Bowie in it in stupidly tight tights.

LTB.... now!

Labyrinth is a classic, I LOVE that film.

Your DH has no taste.

Definitely LTB!!!

kinkyfuckery · 06/01/2013 20:15

Best film ever!!

Though my personal bugbear is when people say "Oh I LOVE the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth is my favourite film!" IF IT WERE YOUR FUCKING FAVOURITE FILM, YOU'D KNOW THE NAME OF IT YOU TWATWAFFLE!

And breathe....

Flight of the Navigator is a cracking film. DS loves it.

I recently looked up the kid who was in it to discover he has had a chequered adult life Sad .

DS also loves Labyrinth. ...and laughs like a drain at Hoggle weeing into the little pond outside the labyrinth. Grin
