‘David Bowie was a crazy workaholic’: Labyrinth at 40 – an oral history
Labyrinth arrived 40 years ago with David Bowie at his most devastatingly charismatic, a breakthrough performance by Jennifer Connelly, and lots and lots of puppets.

The best Steven Spielberg films, chosen by directors, critics and super-fans: ‘pure popcorn perfection’
|
Steven Spielberg is often described as the inventor of the “event movie” – or as the creator of our new age of IP supremacy, in which the genre property is more important than any above-the-title film star.

The best Steven Spielberg films, chosen by directors, critics and super-fans: ‘pure popcorn perfection’
|
Spielberg’s early achievement was to bring about an evolutionary sea change, reinvigorating pulp-popular themes and ideas and giving them a new maturity and mainstream box office credibility. The idea of a giant shark crazed with a vindictive taste for human flesh or dinosaurs busting out of an amusement park is something that Roger Corman or Ed Wood Jr might have made in two weeks with risible rubber creatures. In Jaws and Jurassic Park, Spielberg’s production values were state of the art.
