Close but not quite.
I know this going to be a guessing one.
I will give an extra point if you can name two times you see Jareth's face in the scene. Not Jareth himself! LOL

I loved that he kept performing even when he was so sick. He was one of the greatest in my opinion. I wish I had gotten to see him in concert.
The Man Who Sold The World was the first David Bowie album recorded as an entity unto itself and marks ground zero of the first definitive creative stretch to come. Mick Ronson's guitars are often referred to as the birth point of heavy metal, and certainly the auspicious beginnings of glam rock can be traced here. The album was released by Mercury in April 1971 to minimal fanfare and Bowie took his first trip to the United States to promote it that spring. In May of the same year, Duncan Zowie Haywood Bowie was born to David and his then wife Angela.
Apr 3, 2014 - "I was simply blown away when I found out that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and i always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering 'Man Who Sold the World.' It was a good straightforward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been real nice to have worked with him, but just talking would have been real cool." David Bowie

Apparently there were many "stars" that didn't like working with the puppets. Even David Bowie had a hard time on the set of Labyrinth because the puppets voices came from off camera behind him and it kept throwing him off!
Fantasy Films
Never one to rest on his laurels, Henson moved on to an even more ambitious project. With the help of fantasy illustrator Brian Froud, he created a Tolkien-like world for the film The Dark Crystal. This production was entirely populated by extremely detailed, realistic-looking puppets -- a major breakthrough and change from the (intended) cartoony look of the earlier Muppets. Though an initial box-office failure, The Dark Crystal later developed a following as a widely respected cult film.
Based on what he and his team learned from their experiences on The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson founded the Creature Shop to create new characters both for Henson movies and for outside productions. In-house productions during his lifetime included Labyrinth and The StoryTeller, while outside productions included Dreamchild, The Bear, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Witches.
Yes, TMNT and The Witches! I had no idea!

I think the journey is what makes it interesting! Anything can happen along the way and one never knows what twists and turns, up or downs there will be along the way. When Sarah first enters the Labyrinth it just looks like one long hallway with no twists or turns at all. She's surprised to see that it's only an illusion. Things are not always what they seem.

No. It is more than 5! I was surprised by this.

I love mazes! I even made my own!

How many times can you see Jareth's face throughout the movie in different locations on the set?
-
That is it!
-
You get 1 point for the artist
...but the painting is not quite right. So close!
Can you think of a different one that he did that might be the right one?

The "upside down" staircase in the Goblin King's castle was inspired by a painting.
Can you name the painting?
Extra point if you can also name the artist!
-
Yes!
1 point for you!

I was 17 when this came out...so I felt very drawn to Sarah then. When you are teenager everything is unfair!

I wold love to know how the 4th graders would see it!
-
ps...I loved Snape. From the beginning!

Saying no to desire when its not the right thing can be difficult. I think that is a big part of this movie.
-
Right! There are a lot of powerful mesages in this movie.
Things are not always what they seem.
Give people a chance.
What do you do when things are not fair.
Sometimes all you need to do is ask.
