I thought this was hilarious at the time but hadn't seen it since.  It is still hilarious in spots, and generally amiable, with of course incredible fashions and fun music.  It also exists in a universe where almost anyone can show up, from pre-marriage Donald and Melania Trump to Garry Shandling to at least two of the Spice Girls.  (I laughed uproariously for several minutes at the David Bowie cameo.)  I tagged who I could.

Ben Stiller of course stars, but he also directed and co-wrote.

I couldn't get into this but I could sort of see why it's a cult film.  This is based on the novel by Walter Tevis and directed by Nicolas Roeg.

Bowie is the goblin king, but the film fails to a-maze.  Jim Henson directed and co-wrote.
