if you’re reading this, you’re either an adult or a well raised kid.

Fun fact they wanted Michael Jackson to play the goblin King at first but he turned it down I'm so glad I think it's made for bowie

The Ballroom is my favorite part of the movie. It's dark, decadent, and yet so magical. Jareth is trying to seduce Sarah but it's Sarah that has him enchanted. It's beautiful.

NOW THAT I'M REWATCHING THIS MOVIE, I can only picture how respectful David was towards women. Jennifer was only 14 or 15 while filming this and during the dance scene, you can see that Bowie is keeping his distance from his chest and watching where he touches to make sure that Jennifer was comfortable! What a gentleman! May he rest in peace!

I swear to God if they try to remake this movie I will lose the last of my faith in mankind

I guess the reason why I will never be the heroine of a story is because I would get 10000% seduced straightaway and there would be no story 😂🤣

No one has commented on how beautiful Jennifer's hair looks with the silver lace and jewelry woven through it? The costumes in this scene absolutely blow me away every time I see it.

I would stay with David Bowie in his magic bubble forever.

This is gonna play at my non-exsistent wedding.

This scene is so incredibly crafted. It has a tone of beauty, love, darkness, manipulation, purity, connection,and danger all in one. Not a word spoken, just eye contact of the actors and how they are blocked, and the beautiful choreography and music. Bravo Jim Henson!

My girlfriend wants this to be our wedding song, after years of forgetting about this movie I think it’s safe to say that we’re gonna get married

"Anemoia- a nostaglia for a time you've never known" This gives me such strong feelings of anemoia. Deep deep sorrow, desire, love, longing and sadness I cant possibly comprehend.

Can we just appreciate how his brows and highlight is better than 90% of the girls on Instagram?

Me watching this scene as a kid: Cool. Me watching this scene as an adult: HOLY SH*T, HE'S IN LOVE WITH HER!!!

I hope there's no remake or sequel. Nothing will ever be as amazingly cast as this. Such a beautiful crafted film from start to finish, that will never be captured by today's cinematography. Anything else would just ruin it. Plus, there is absolutely nobody on this planet that could ever replace David Bowie. Ever.

Ugh…the very look he gives her just before he approached her to dance and as he’s walking towards her melts me every single time…🥴 it screams, “mine”.❤

I would have stayed. I would have married Jareth, lived in the castle beyond the Goblin City, and raised Toby together. With Ludo, Sir Didymus and Ambrosius and Hoggle as my best friends, I would have been the queen of the Labyrinth. Damn it, Sarah. You traded all that for your clueless, detached father and bitchy stepmother.

I slow dance with my cat to this

I saw this at the cinema when it was first released, I was 12 years old.. I fell in love with The Goblin King and played this scene over and over, wishing I was Sarah and he looked at me like that...I'm 46 now and I still fall in love with him every time xx

This scene just makes me feel a strange sadness. Like the last time seeing someone you care for, but can't help. Love this movie.

No way Jennifer didn't have a crush on him while filming this 😂 age gap or not bowie was hot as hell during this

I know I'm a straight dude, but damn... Jareth is hot.

Totally the best scene in the whole movie. And Labyrinth has so many great scenes. Its magical, creepy and mystical while deeply romantic.

The sad part is, had she followed her heart for him, she would have got everything she wanted, including him, Toby and all she wanted. He even said so with a clever play on words. As the little worm said to her, can't take nothing for granted, she kept that in mind, ironically she didn't catch on to what Jareth was trying to tell her. Damn, the writing in Labyrinth is so damn good. Underated.

It's not Labyrinth without David Bowie...no David Bowie, no Labyrinth sequel!

His face when she walked away is so heartbreaking

1:25 I love that little smirk by Bowie there , one of the shot of him that is forever burned into my mind

For me the most striking thing about this scene is just how everyone is moving so much but they're all looking right at her. It's unnerving.

Rest in peace my dear Goblin King. Save the last dance for us fangirls when we all join you in the sky.

If we don’t get married to this song, you clearly don’t understand me and ain’t worth it

This was my all time favorite movie scene as a kid. The nostalgia is real here

This part always gives me chills, she looks beautiful and David looks hypnotizing, the song, the ballroom and the outfits are amazing, such a beautiful movie

Jennifer Connelly is so stunning in this movie. This movie was an instant classic. I hope they NEVER remake the movie, they just going to ruin a master piece.

Fan Theory: What if all the other guests at the masquerade ball are the previous human forms of the goblins that live in the labrynth? It would make sense because Jareth is almost always around the goblin horde and all the masks they are wearing are very goblinlike. What do you think?

To get David Bowie to do all the songs in this movie was pure genius. She is gorgeous and so grown up...he is beautiful in makeup and it's dreamlike till the chair shatters the illusion xxx Still watch this movie. One of my favourites! RIP David Bowie

I first saw this in 1992 on VHS at the age of seven. A classmate brought this to our classroom. When I saw this scene, I fell in love with Jennifer Connelly. Even today, she still looks amazing.

the costume designer for this movie was amazing.

Jeez, Sarah. Move over for those of us who DO want to dance with/be serenaded by David Bowie.

The voice of David Bowie, oh my God it's love for the ears

I wish that this movie never would be remade.

He's so attractive in this scene my gosh, rest in peace Goblin King

Watching this makes me so nostalgic it actually hurts. Such a weird bittersweet feeling.

This has been instilled in me since 5. I mean obsessed.

I absolutely ❤ when the Goblin King is staring intensely at Sarah before approaching her to dance...❤❤this movie..then and now

...And with this scene, David Bowie single-handily introduced a generation of young girls to the concept of having suspiciously moist underwear.

Both of them are so hotdamn gorgeous in this scene, my eyes are not worthy of all this beauty

I have watched this movie since its release in 1986. Mind you I was 4 years old. I would pray every night to God to make me an adult so I could marry David Bowie. Silly, I know. But this movie made me closer to my stepdad who is a huge Bowie fan, and it also brought me closer to my grandpa, who passed away in 2012. My dad and I bonded over Bowies music, and grandpa and I bonded over this movie. My daughter loved this movie as a child, and now I get to pass it on to my step grandkids who absolutely love this movie. Words can not express how much this movie and the soundtrack truly means to me. R.I.P. both David and Jim. You may be gone from this earth, but the magic you had is very much with us all today. ❤❤

Not many songs are better than this. Magic. Truly transportive, like few works of arts are. I totally get lost in this song, brought to another world.

This is exactly how I want my wedding to look like.

The smirk David Bowie gives as she wanders past always made my heart skip beats

So sad we will never get movies like this again so glad I grew up with this! It transported me into a whole nother world and just made me more creative and imaginative

Grew up to this movie. Literally have watched it hundreds of times. In my 40’s I still yearn to go to a party like this

"Damn you Jareth ... and damn me too!" Well yes Hoggle, but thanks to that peach, we got to hear this wonderful piece of music.

2020: still remember this song. Edit: 2021✌🥺💖

I think about this scene on a regular basis. It's just perfection

I think I was just 5 when I first watched this movie, and it's strange I still have this daydream feeling in love with someone I haven't even met yet whenever I hear this song 🧡🍂.

And people say the Kardashian started the contouring game I see that contouring going down on your nose goblin king I see..😂

Watching this scene makes my heart ache. It has always made me long for something that never existed. It also makes me sad, knowing that our Goblin King is no longer with us...

This is one of the most important movies that has ever been made and all of time seriously

2023 and still need to hear this song once in awhile.

When I was a child, I was completely in love with Jareth.. I'm adult, I'm in love yet

There are a lot of parallels with Phantom of the Opera in this masterpiece. The older man in love with the younger girl, the mask, the masquerade ball, the seduction through music. Such a lovely movie.

The way Jareth sings the song to Sarah just makes my heart cry, this is the best scene in the movie for sure- The way Jareth looks at her when she’s running away, his heart broke right there but he knew deep down she would make it, and she gave everything she ever wished for, including Jareth. The eye contact, gosh you could feel everything by just observing.❤️😩

I'm glad to have grown up with this masterpiece as well as all the other greats, anyone over 35 agree??

Played this at my wedding last year. It was my our father daughter dance. As Labyrinth was our film when I was a child. Week before the wedding my dad was told go home and enjoy your time left with your family. This song was so fitting for us. Will always be our song. My dear dad died 6 weeks later xxxx

rest in peace. i will always remember Bowie and his Amazing work.

I'm turning 13 in 2 days and labrynth is my favourite film my mum would always watch it with me and I am about to paint a mural based on this film ❤

First movie I ever remember seeing in a theater as a kid. This scene was so beautiful! I think every little girl dreams of a princess dress like this one at some point. Jennifer and David were iconic! R.I.P. David Bowie

I would have kissed him like crazy and never stopped - clocks and babies be damned!!

Jareth was my first crush, I was obsessed with the film and so jealous of Sarah !! 😭I would have liked to stay in the other reality.

The world is falling down . We need more music like this .

By far this is one of those movies that will forever have an imprint in your heart & mind especially if you had watched it as a young child...My daughter had the exact same reaction I did after watching it & started crying cause she didn't want (Jareth David bowie to go away)

there is something about this song that is haunting. i can't really put my finger on it. this is still one of my favorite movie.

The World Fell Down when David Bowie died....

That is the most 80s dress I have ever seen in my life, but I still want it 35 years later. I fell in love with it (and Jareth) at first sight.

I think this is the best song on the soundtrack by far.

David Bowie: hi I'm the goblin king every woman: notice me senpai

I thought I was the only one who fell in love to David Bowie from this movie. His smile, eyes and voice melt my heart. And I was just a kid back then.

When I was younger (born in 1981) I hated this part. But now when I come back to it, it might be my favorite. Goddamn.

Ich bin heute 24 jahre alt, ich liebe diesen film. Meine mutter und ich haben ihn immer geschaut, heute ist sie nicht mehr hier. Aber meine Erinnerungen zu diesem film und zu so vielen Erinnerungen bleiben 🤍💫

I never loved a fictional man before until I saw this. That was a long time ago, and the magic and memories have deepened for me. This is a love story of beauty, longing, unrequieted love. We can all relate. Thank you to Jim Henson (another Starman) for his vision, and thank you to David Bowie for his creation of the goblin king. This film will always be part of my world. He will always be in my heart. Love you forever, David Bowie.

Ok but how did Jennifer Connelly skip the awkward teenage years? She was (still is!) naturally so beautiful. Bowie will always be the hypnotic Goblin King❤

I thought this was the most boring part of the movie when I was a kid, and always fast forwarded through it, but appreciate the song now.

My son and I watched this movie over and over. He married his beautiful girl Friday. And not surprisingly they danced their first dance to "Falling Down". I sang this to him when he was little and it was perfectly suited for them.

This was when I had my first crush..I was 7 years old and this scene up above was when i fell in love with him. He just had this aura that was so compelling to me. For some reason I remember making up a story telling my Mom and Dad that my brother's girlfriend Jessica had this huge crush on Jareth and as I was telling them this I said things like "that is so gross right!?". When in reality it was me who had this HUGE crush on him..I just wanted to see what they would say about it..I remember being so incredibly embarrassed to tell my parents I loved him because it was the first time I really admired someone and had these feelings I never felt...even if it was a celebrity! Little did I know they knew all about my crush from the beginning. I guess they caught me pretending to be Sarah dancing with Jareth trying to recreate this scene. Shortly after, my Father introduced me to his music apart from The Labyrinth's soundtrack and the first song I listened to was "Space Oddity" and from then on I fell in love with David Bowie. Him as this crazily talented, genuine person.. You will always be a Shining Star beautiful Bowie. I love you.

who's closed their eyes and listened to this and imagined being her? i think bowies voice was the best in this type of genre, he was amazing at this type of music

I first saw this movie when I was about 6 years old. I took the videotape from a friend and so I found out about this film. As a child, I watched this film many times. Now I am 27 and it takes me back to my childhood when I hear this song. I reviewed the "labyrinth" last year. Feelings are the warmest and nostalgic. It's good when there are songs and films that can take you back to childhood.

This is what magic is made of X I'm 45 and this just came to me xxx we all need magic and fantasy xxx💕

One of my favorite scenes ever. This scene is so beautiful

I'll tell you something - the 80's were an amazing time to watch films at the cinema. labyrinth had alot of music videos within it

I love this movie soooooo much but I miss bowie so much more 😭

This song and scene means so much to me that I wrote into two of my stories.

I had the biggest crush on him and still do. :( sad he's gone, RIP Goblin King you will be missed.

I miss David Bowie desperately...

I was 8 when this movie came out. I didn’t get to see it at the theater but my sister taped it VHS from it airing on HBO later. This part was always one of my faves. I would sway along to the dancing as the music played, wishing I could be Sarah and in love with the Goblin King. It’s always been a dream of mine to play this at a masquerade party. I think everyone should dress up in these characters and it would be so cool. I totally would’ve stayed with the Goblin King. I love Bowie and his awesomeness. Thank you for making my childhood wonderful and making me a complete fan as an adult. RIP David, we all still love you very much.

my dad showed me this movie as a kid and i never stopped watching it, im going to high school next year and i still love this movie more than anything

Man I was obsessed with this movie at one point 😅😁 one time when my brother wouldn't stop crying I put him in his crib and yelled "Goblin King please come take this baby away!" And waited hoping he was gone 😂😂😂 unfortunately he was still crying 😅😂

David and Jennifer are too perfect and iconic for their role. They make it impossoble for the Rabyrinth to be remaked.

I want this song at my wedding 🔮

ALWAYS ALWAYS BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE RIP DAVID BOWIE SLEEP WELL STARMAN MISS YOU ❤️🦋🦋🌈🌈🦋
