Legends are now and forever


Here is a movie one should procure immediately, legally or otherwise. People are always listing Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal as their favorite childhood movies but those films can go pound sand because Ridley Scott puts Jim Henson to shame. Legend has it all: goblins, unicorns, dwarfs, elves, fairies, tom cruise (pre-dental work) in a mowgli-esque loin dress, Tim curry, devils, love, death, magic.
Mia Sara is Princess Lili, you may remember her as Ferris Bueller's hot girlfriend Sloane. She looks quite a bit like Jennifer Connelly's Sarah from Labyrinth but that old stick in the mud Sarah never wears anything this scandalous.

That dress is practically showing her belly button! But you have to work it when you want to impress the gigantic Lord of Darkness played by Tim Curry (who is a way more unsettling Tranny than Bowie could ever be)
Don't be fooled by how unusually jovial he looks in that picture, he is not a friendly fella. He is pretty much pure bad and wants to take over everything good and pure and make it evil. (Hence Princess Lili in that skanky dress)
This movie is super pretty and ethereal while at the same time super scary and creepy. The super 80's soundtrack originally recorded by Tangerine Dream is also a real treat, prepare for lots of synth.
