Die unendliche Geschichte

The message behind this film and the original book have inspired so many people including Steven Spielberg who, so I've read, as a prop AURYN in his office, there to remind him to never stop dreaming because when you stop dreaming, you start dying. The effects, especially on the DVD, look amazing, better than most of the CGI crap we're force-fed nowadays. If you love the movie, go buy the book. It's a million times better, if you can believe it, and certainly better than the crap sequels and cartoons and stuff that have come since.

The NeverEnding Story is one of my all time favourite movies, it is just so magical. The music is brilliant, and the story is a magical, simple and effective one. The scenery, sets and costumes were visually a feast to the eyes, just gorgeous to look at, and if it didn't get any awards for best art direction, then that is a massive shame, because it was so beautiful to watch. Falcor was a fantastic character, a very warm and loving character, that you just have to love. I have to admit though, Gmork is very scary. The acting is fantastic, Barret Oliver very spirited as Bastian, and Noah Hathaway born to play Atreyu. And Tami Stromach as the Childlike Empress has a small but wholly relevant role in the film. This film is practically perfect in every way and has a wonderful message, don't miss it! The second film's okay, but the third one is god awful and should be in the bottom 100. 10/10 for this though. Bethany Cox
