In a strange way, this scene is so romantic, at least until the last few moments.

[ShadowSonic]

Gotta love how her hair got even more 80s-ish in this scene.

His face when she chooses to save her brother over staying with him is just heartbreaking :(

I've never seen a more gorgeous costume than Jennifer's in this scene. The jewels in her hair are just ethereal. All of the costumes are beautiful and so inventive and fantastical. The 80's were such a no-holds-barred decade for fantasy filmmaking! Labryinth, The Dark Crystal, Legend, The Neverending Story. I don't think we'll ever see their like again.

I distinctly remember JARETH was the first time I understood what 'horny' actually meant.

This scene is about growing up. But she's too young to grow up even though at the beginning she feel she's ready. She's still a kid. 'Cause growing up is full of masks, lies, circles, and deception. Growing up sucks!

This man has the ability to make glitter and eyeshadow look manly. Genius.

Does anyone else think that it’s cute when Jareth is singing to her?

[darcylyons]

In the original script Jareth was supposed kiss Sarah in this scene.

[QueenieSam]

Just saying... Even with all of this makeup and hair, David Bowie is still really attractive.

This is my favorite scene of the whole movie. It's so dreamy, yet strange with a touch of a romance that can't ever be.

This is her fantasy, based on stories like Cinderella.  She breaks free, realizing that she must get back to reality and fulfill her obligations.  It is wonderful film about creativity, adventure, bravery and finding out what really matters.  Thank you Jim Henson and David Bowie.  I love the idea of making this into a live musical!

My heart utterly melts whenever this enchanting scene begins… Just a single massive sigh from the furthermost depths of my being… A dose of pure breathtaking magic for a lover's soul. I miss him… Miss the sound of his voice and how I could drift away into it. Am planning to reenact this scene, the entire masquerade ball this year for Halloween with the help of many creative friends, like something from a dream and myself as the Goblin King. Music to melt too… Two different colored eyes… And someone, unknowing who that someone will be just yet as it’s said to be a surprise, that I will sing this very song too. Sigh… Just magic it will be…

[TheGeekMonster]

Jareth is so crushed when she shakes off his spell and remembers Toby and runs away. His face is so heartbroken.

I love this movie so damn much. Everyone, from David Bowie to Jennifer Connelly, to all the amazing puppeteers and craftspeople, and of course Jim Henson, did such an amazing job. This will always be a treasure to me, and I love showing it to people who've never seen it.

[rchnda]

Sarah is so much stronger than me. If Jareth made me dance in a ball with him, as he sings to me a beautiful lovesong, while gazing lovingly into my eyes… I would forget about whatever family member I was giving up immediately and run off to marry him

[cande]

Am I the only one loving the blue sparkles in his hair? I mean, how much more awesome could that hairstyle get?
The main reason I've watched the movie was because of the song, wich lead to this scene, and to the movie. Thank you so much destiny!!
Ps: I really ship this couple for being so romantic without ever kissing. The feelings are so obvious when they look at each other.

[Rockamolie]

If I ever get married this is what I want my wedding to look like.

[journeyofemily]

He fell in love with her during her journey. Read the book, it's worth it.

[TengoUnaGata]

i fangirl this scene every time I see it.
