Labyrinth, Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy classic, gets a screening at The Beverly Theater. The film follows a teenage girl who ventures into a goblin-ruled maze to rescue her baby brother, encountering a cast of puppet creatures and a memorably glam-rock Goblin King played by David Bowie along the way. With its blend of practical effects, Henson Creature Shop puppetry, and Bowie's songs woven through the story, it's the kind of movie that's earned a cult following over the decades.
Watching it in The Beverly Theater's intimate main theater adds something to the experience, letting the film's strange, dreamlike world fill the room with the venue's crisp sound and comfortable seating. It's a good pick for longtime fans who grew up with the movie as well as anyone curious to see what all the fuss is about on a proper screen rather than a living room TV.
