now.. I've had huge discussions with friends of mine about whether the film "Labyrinth" or "The Dark Crystal" is better. I personally go for "The Dark Crystal" - yes, it has less to no humour, yes, it is slow in places, yes, it lacks emotion, yes, the main character Jen is literally a puppet, but still the world it depicts convinces me so, oh so much more than "Labyrinth". and David Bowie is crap in "Labyrinth". |

You had a huge discussion? I dunno whether to laugh or feel pity. I have seen neither film :D! |

The Dark Crystal is classic fantasy, full of cinema magic and moody storylines and is just great. Labyrith is shite. |
||||||||

so I deserve your scorn for something you haven't even seen..? way to go to get my vote..! |

It is a difficult decision, but of the two I like "the dark crystal" a bit more. If you took the idea of killing fairies with insecticide out of labrynth and put it into the dark crystal instead, the latter would win by a landslide. However if you include the movie "the neverending story" among the 3 choices, it wins imo because of the most evil creature in the universe, gmork. I think gmork is god. |

well, that's the thing. The Dark Crystal is part of my childhood - so that already makes it special. although I bought it on dvd recently and still think it's great. |

Dark Crystal ! I don't even remember anything about Labyrinth... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO! Limahl killed every chance of that film ever being taken into the equation.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i really liked the Dark Crystal when it first came out. but i have watched both movies more recently and Labyrinth better stood the test of time for my taste. Dark Crystal is more inventive visually i think but it is pretty boring other than that. Labyrinth is ultimately more entertaining. |

They are both good. |

There is no way that Labyrinth could ever beat the Dark Crystal. Like qrter it's part of my childhood, so there's a nostalgia factor, but it's also got that sinister brooding sort of feeling that's totally apart from that. It's hard to descibe. The Dark Crystal is proper cinema, whereas Labyrinth is a kiddies movies. The Neveredning Story was a great story idea, and I have good memories of it, even the theme music. But that dragon just looked shit, even back then. |

You're looking a bit pale today? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And the sequels to the Never Ending Story are just awful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh God, yes. Frightening |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
absolutely true, The Dark Crystal is darker. the Skeksis are such great characters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I watched the 2nd Neverending Story on video for about 15 minutes and turned it off. awful. |
||||||||
|

But think of Morla, the giant turtle... or the drama of Artax dying in the swamps of sadness *sniff* and especially gmork.... gmork would rip off maralyn manson's head. On a side note I'm thinking about buying his autobiography. I am interested in his psychology. On another sidenote, the most "autechre" book I've read recently was "the meme machine" by susan blackmore, mostly due to the last couple of chapters where she convinced me that we don't have "selves", other than a sort of constantly accumulating past tense story. She thinks there's just the evolutionary algorithms playing out with no one watching. That's an autechre concept right there. |

They are both good. I've seen Labyrinth many more times though. The little fox like guy who rides the dog is pretty cool, as is Ludo |
||||||||

|
|
well I haven't seen Dark Crystal, but Labyrinth is awesome... lots of nostalgia there for me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Neverending Story is sweet too... and also, the soundtrack is amazing... I'd be a happy person if I could have the soundtrack on cd!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gmork's autobiography? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wished I'd seen The Dark Crystal. Haven't though. Labyrinth definetaly is not my favorite though. Neverending Story was kick ass though. Can you buy it on DVD? |
||||||||
|

DArk Crystal Its just different:D |
||||||||
|

LABYRINTH! because david bowie is sexy in his spandex ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Labyrinth get's my vote as i grew up watching it. David Bowie is great in that film, i don't care what anyone else says about him. I first saw Dark Crystal when i was a bit older so there was less 'magic' there for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he isn't great in that film. he isn't even the Goblinking. he's David Bowie. really, that's the problem with Bowie acting in films - it always fails because in the end he is just playing David Bowie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess you either like him or you don't, i'm guessing you don't like his music either? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh. I had never really thought about that until the second I read the topic. phizgig! |
||||||||

Limahl played here in Cardiff last Friday at our free annual festival. But I missed him - damn! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Still haven't seen the Dark Crystal. I don't like Labyrinth because of Jennifer Connolly, what an annoying bitch she is in that movie. She has since made up for it by becoming smart as fuck and getting her baps out. |
||||||||
|

I prefer the dark crystal without a doubt... I woill look for that film now... where can I get it? in a normal videoclub? I doubt that |
||||||||
|

when I was a kid I saw it with my father at the cinema and I remember being really scared |

jennifer connolly is my sex whore [in my mind]. Maybe not in labyrinth, more requiem for a dream. Still, that puts labyrinth first for me. Didnt the bird in the dark crystal look EXACTLY like zoe ball? I think yes. |

Both great films... (still feel Bowie is a better actor than a singer!) But Dark Crystal is quality... scared the shit out of me when I was younger. And those sealion faced walker things are cool |
