You know the movie has the word Labyrinth in the title, but you aren’t quite sure what the full title is. I can help. I have pulled together the 12 most popular movies with labyrinth in the title. I’ll give you a description, a poster, some information about it and from a few a link to my review of the movie. If the movie contains a maze or labyrinth as part of the story, I will watch and review the movie.

This is the first movie I think about. We get David Bowie as the Goblin King, who has taken Jennifer Connelly’s little brother into a fantasy world. To get him back she must solve a labyrinth in time. Along the way we get to meet many puppets from the mind of Jim Henson and we get some singing from Bowie.
Also known as “El laberinto del fauno”, this is the best film in the list - it won over 109 awards, including 3 Oscars. It was directed by Guillermo del Toro and takes place in Spain in 1944 and follows a girl who escapes to a fantasy world.
Starring Dustin Hoffman and based on a book by Donato Carrisi, this crime drama should be watched closely (put down your phone/tablet). A young girl is kidnapped, escapes and is in the hospital recovering. What happened ? And by the end you will be googling just that if you don’t pay attention ! A crime drama that keeps you thinking !
Labyrinth (2002) - (IMDB).
A Serbian film about a man who is haunted by the death of his friend by suicide. Cool labyrinth in the poster.
Labyrinth of Lies (2014) - (IMDB).
A German film that shows how a variety of institutions tried to cover up Nazi war crimes over a decade after the war is cover. While I did not write a formal review of this movie, I have seen it, and it is worth seeing.
Labyrinth of Passion (1982) - (IMDB).
A Spanish film by the renowned director Pedro Almodóvar. Chances are that is enough for you to know if you will like this film about 4 interesting characters and how they interact. What do I mean by “interesting” characters - how about a nymphomaniac, a gay terrorist, an emporer’s son, and the daughter of a dry cleaner.
The Labyrinth (2017) - (IMDB).
A movie that interweaves 8 different stories about life. James Franco is the narrator.
Labyrinth (2011) - (IMDB). A Turkish movie.
An Italian horror-mystery that follows a woman searching for her missing lover. Go to the police ? You are a regular person, why not just open your own investigation (movies) ! People start getting murdered at the seaside resort you are at. No problem !
Labyrinth of Cinema (2019) - (IMDB).
A Japanese time travel movie that stars Tadanobu Asano. The time travel takes place…inside a movie theatre and sends the patrons to different historical points in Japanese history !
Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles (2018) - (IMDB).
A Spanish 2D animation movie that is for adults (TV-14) and that won many movie awards. Tells the story of a part of the life of Luis Buñuel when he was struggling to make a movie and tells about his relationships with Salvador Dalí and sculptor Ramón Acín during this time.
Labyrinth of Dreams (1997) - (IMDB).
A second Japanese movie that stars Tadanobu Asano, this time about a bus serial killer (I phrased that incorrectly but kept it just because I like the idea of a serial killer going around killing buses?). A woman tries to solve a mystery of who killed her friend, a bus conductor, and suspects Niitaka (Asano). Is he the serial killer ?
Still didn’t find the movie you were looking for ? I suggest you check out my list of maze and labyrinth movies.
