Labyrinth released just four short years before Jim Henson’s death and it’s easily one of his studio’s most identifiable and memorable films. This takes her on an epic adventure where she will discover new things about herself, grow up a little bit, and develop an appreciation for her sibling. She is a fifteen-year-old girl and she is frustrated with having to care for her infant brother, but when she wishes him away she had no idea that he would be whisked away by Jareth. Just like any of our favorite John Hughes films from the decade, Labyrinth exudes teen angst and Jennifer Connelly does this incredibly well in her performance as the young Sarah. David Bowie’s career spanned the decades, but he definitely cemented himself as an icon of the 1980s and his presence in Labyrinth is a reminder of that. A decade earlier, he starred in the now cult classic The Man Who Fell to Earth. Obviously famous for his music, Bowie was consistently in the public eye through video shorts and a few other movies. One of the biggest celebrities of the decade.

Right off the bat, the lead actor in this movie is David Bowie. So what exactly makes Labyrinth the perfect movie to come out of the ‘80s? I’m glad you asked. It was made possible by the Jim Henson Company, just a few years before Henson’s untimely death.
Starring David Bowie, as the devilishly handsome Goblin King, Jareth, and Jennifer Connelly as the young Sarah Williams, Labyrinth has long been regarded as a classic of the decade. But there is one movie that had all of this. Many had over-the-top costumes and set designs that made them quintessentially ‘80s.
Most of these movies had supercharged soundtracks. This decade had everything coming-of-age teen dramas, sci-fi and fantasy, and sprawling adventures. are just a few of the many that come to mind. When you think of films from the 1980s, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Back to the Future, and E.T.
