I work at an all girl's catholic school and I am always looking for good movies to watch. We have seen the Labyrinth. Now you would think that being a catholic school you couldn't but the movie deals with lots of teenage themes...Learning not to take things for granted...Learning to face your fears....Making friends...and believing in yourself.

There is a lot of symbolism in that movie. It is about a girl who think she is too old to baby sit, and loses her baby brother for lack of care. Teens for whatever reason think they are too old for certain things, but they make lot of mistakes because of that reason. Your closest friend could be working against you, you find help in the strangest ways, Life's a confusing maze, what are you willing to go through to do what is right? There is a lot of use. ASk the students to look and see what other things they could find in the movie that teaches them something about life and literature.

You cant you have no reason to show this film - some things should be left to be an innocent child hood memory - everyone who watches this film will find something different - imagine themselves to be one of the characters - work out one of the puzzles for themselves and enjoy the beauty and innocence of childhood.
This film has no place in the education world.

it's a classic protagonist vs antagonist fantasy...in much of the since, it's a lot like a fable...it definitely expresses a moral of sorts(the annoying toddler and the wish to make him go away plus the lesson learned)...My 11th Grade English/Lit Teacher managed to get away with allowing us to watch "The Highlander" (the motion picture starring Christopher Lamberth) and associated that movie with the Beowolf stories along with the classic good vs evil...I hope this helps out..

You can talk about how the writer and the director where very imaginative when the movie was being made...then throw in an essay and let ur students write about something science-fiction like or symbolic... i would do it

Shouldn't you have a reason then chose a movie based on that reason instead of the other way around? movies in literature is like having kids mow the grass in phy. ed.

say it teaches you how to evolve from childhood to adulthood. She's a girl who lives in a fantasy world. When shes faced with a life decision she has to put childhood fantasy's behind her and do whats right. Lets just say it teaches when it's the right time for fun and the wrong time.

You can have them write a paper on the proper way to tell a story.
This is a great story & one of my favorite movies...

They publish a book of it also....... have them read then watch the move and discuss the liberties take with the movie.
