This truly is one of the best films of the 1980's. Quick run down....Sarah's tired of babysitting her baby brother, has the Goblin King take him away, decides she should rescue him, then battles through the "Labyrinth" to the goblin city to save her brother.

Labyrinth was released in 1986 (the year i was born :D) and is a fantasy film. It was directed by Jim Henson and produced by George Lucas, two big names so you know it's going to be good. Labyrinth was the last film made by Henson before he died in 1990. The film is rated U and only has some mild fantasy violence and is 101 minutes long.
