This movie's crew is basically an Avengers team of fantasy storytelling. Monty Python's Terry Jones wrote the original script (though he always maintained that little of his material made it into the final version), which was then picked up by George Lucas to produce fresh off Return of the Jedi, and he got Jim Henson to direct when he was looking for another way to expand his talents beyond the Muppets after the flop of The Dark Crystal, and of course there's the whole David Bowie of it all, who even provided all his own songs. Unfortunately, it was savaged by critics and bombed horribly, but it's been great to see the love it's gotten over time.

My opinion of this film is pretty close to yours in that I like it well enough. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I like it as much as other eighties fantasy films like Legend or The Princess Bride, but it is good and quite a bit of fun. David Bowie steals the entire show. As to what his goals were, that I don’t know. The question of what the point of the scene with the fire dancers was, that, also, I don't know, no one does. As to your question on should we be uncomfortable with the ballroom scene, I would agree with you and say yes, and like you pointed out, the scene thankfully doesn’t get as bad as it could have been. As I say, not a movie I’m particularly nuts about, but it was nice to revisit, and I quite liked your reaction to it. All in all, it was very enjoyable and a lot of fun.

Nice reaction as always. Thanks. The visuals and puppet-making are great but the film just doesn't quite work for me. I appreciate the effort they put into it and Jennifer Connelly (I think she was 14) did a very good job. The best quote of the film for me, however, is from the "Making of" documentary. Jim Henson is voicing over some of the behind-the-scenes footage and says "Working with a baby had its problems ... but then I tried directing chickens."

I like this movie (more than you I think) but I haven't re-watched this in probably a couple of decades. I think it holds up and not just for nostalgia. But I think you a) have to really like fairy tale tropes and b) like the humour. Both are true for me. For me the ballroom scene has never made me uncomfortable because it's an attempt at seduction but not a romantic, much less sexual one. It's about glamour and artifice and appeals to vanity. The theme of Faeries who entice you with false visions and then steal you away is a big one with a long history. It also goes to Jareth's motivation. Because in fairy stories they mess with you just for mischief.

I only saw this a year ago and loved it. Didn't find it as wierd and creepy as you did, just fun. Also just seen your Home Alone 2 reaction which again I liked more than you. I take it you've watched Pan's Labryrinth which is even more disturbing and better.
