Another of my childhood favorites. Even today being much older and seeing it I still love it. I really can't explain why. I see the corniness of it and still can't help but love it. I even own it and watch it a lot of the time. I guess I'll call it a guilty pleasure. I guess for some reason I just love the story, the characters, and the world that was created. At times I wish there was a sequel but in a way I know that it's better that it didn't have one.
Considering the time this movie came out the directors and others who worked on the film really did do some amazing things. Remember this was back in the day when we didn't have all these re-makes and not everything seemed to be based off a book. In fact the way I heard it the book came after this movie came out. I have noticed that this movie does have a pretty big cult following though, so I can't feel too bad about loving it as I do. Although strangely I'm probably one of the only ones to love this movie and not love David Bowie. True I think he makes a great villain and still has dignity after dressing the way he did. But I never and still don't have googly eyes for him. Or that's how I put it. I never seen him in a romantic light.
I'm the person who voted for Sarah to beat him and leave. Never did I wish she could stay with him or wish I could stay with him. I will admit though that I like the songs in this movie, always have. Probably the only Bowie songs I like besides Changes. I think it's a really great family movie and has things for all ages.
Last note. For all of the love I have for this movie I will always remember that there was something that scared me in this movie. It's really stupid and I laugh at it now. But as a child the ball scene always scared me. There I said it. Really it was the masks that scared me. It never kept me from enjoying the movie though. It will always be one of my favorites.
