Labyrinth. 7.5/10 perhaps 8 due to nostalgia.
It looks a bit dated nowadays and on blu-ray you can easily spot the painted background, wires, and blue-screen outlines. Yet that just gives it an extra bit of charm for me. The decors and puppets are fantastic, very imaginative and somehow still feel more real to me than all the fancy CGI nowadays. I forgot how much of it all there was in this movie, and the Escher maze still looks great.
There are some questionable elements too, like David Bowie's choice of pants and he's basically trying to seduce a 15 year old for the entire movie. Anyway can't go wrong with this movie if you're looking for some 80's fantasy charm.
