Right on with the Labyrith! I love this movie and I never even thought of it as a musical. Bowie is terrific, but I gotta admit it's Jennifer Connelly that's kept this near the top of my all-time favs list. I just wish they wouldn't rehash the DVD so much.

I actually prefer the opera, but I also like operettas a lot (you know, the predecessors of musicals, something between opera and musical ... but it has more class than most musicals do .... I hate Andrew Lloyd Webber's stuff, except for his awesome Requiem ... err, back to operettas) :

The Bat
Madamme Butterfly
Countess Mariza
Land of Smiles
The Merry Widow
Orpheus in the Underworld
etc.

(I don't know the English titles of most other operettas, sorry...)

Oh, and as for musicals:
The Bitter Suite (that's the Xena musical, and it rocked !!!)
Doc

That's an impressive list Doc. I'm more of a Marriage of Figaro man, but the one that caught my eye was The Bitter Suite. That was an amazing musical! Best. Television. Musical. Ever.

The music fit the story, the characters, the drama and it was wonderful looking to boot (the CD soundtrack was the only gift of mine that my ex ever loved, and kept). You a fan of the series?

Labyrinth is a good flick. I haven't seen it in quite awhile, but I remember liking it. Funny, but I am actually seeing Bowie tomorrow here in Boston. Looking forward to it as it is my first time seeing him. Only other major acts I've seen are McCartney in 1990 (1st rock concert, it changed my life) and Stones in 1997 (great show). Ok, actually Steve Miller in 1999; but I wouldn't put him in quite the same superstar category as the other 3. Still, a good show.

Seems I have seen a few versions of Labyrinth on DVD over time. Isn't there a bare bones version, special version, etc......
