My Favourite 1980s Movie – Labyrinth

Posted byjroauthorPosted inUncategorized

Actually, there’s probably another half-dozen movies vying for favourite, but we’ll get to them in another post. This one has always had a special place in my heart, and now it has an even more special place as it’s found its way into one of my books, as the setting for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

Coming to an e-reader near you very soon – look out for Time and Time Again.

Yeah, it’s a great story with lots of twists and turns (literally), mazes, monsters and cracking puzzles, but the very best thing about it? David Bowie in his prime.

I have to admit to a huge thrill when I met Brian and Wendy Froud at a Fairy Festival – they were both truly magical, creative people, and how fun was it that their son, Toby played the baby in the film? Thankfully, he followed them into the movie industry – such a talented family.

And I couldn’t finish without a mention of THAT DANCE.
If I ever did Strictly, this would be my Waltz.

I’ve always preferred a buffet to a la carte – I’d far rather nibble through a bunch of different taste sensations than works my way through a single dish. Same when it comes to stories. A Sword-wielding Archer shares the movie theatre in my head with SAS Guys, Geeky Engineers and even a Hot Angel. But every single female in there is whip-smart, fearless and more than able to hold her own in a man’s world. Blimey, it gets busy. You can guarantee they're surrounded by a supporting cast who never let them take themselves seriously, so there’s always adventure, fun and romance, whatever they get up to. Please ensure you have a snack ready or the mouth-watering food will have you diving for the biscuit tin.
