Labyrinth (1986) is a cult classic fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and executive-produced by George Lucas, featuring David Bowie in one of his most iconic film roles. Bowie plays Jareth, the Goblin King, a charismatic yet mischievous ruler who kidnaps baby Toby after the protagonist, Sarah (played by Jennifer Connelly), unwittingly wishes him away. Jareth then challenges Sarah to navigate a magical, illusion-filled labyrinth within 13 hours to rescue her brother, all while throwing musical numbers, riddles, and some serious 80s glam rock energy her way.Bowie’s performance is legendary—not just for his acting but for his unforgettable costumes, wild hair, and a soundtrack that includes hits like Magic Dance and As the World Falls Down. With a mix of puppetry, surreal landscapes, and Bowie’s enigmatic presence, Labyrinth became a beloved classic, blending fairy-tale whimsy with a slightly dark, dreamlike edge. Though it wasn’t a massive hit upon release, it has since gained a devoted fanbase, proving that David Bowie can make any role—yes, even a crystal-ball-juggling, tight-pants-wearing goblin king—utterly mesmerizing.
