Navigating the Labyrinth: A Complete Guide to Maze Movies

I have written extensively on movies that contain mazes and labyrinths, currently 85+ total movies, but this number is sure to grow. You can peruse every maze movie I have reviewed on my maze movie page. I have given you a post about what I believe are the best maze movies and the worst maze movies with special consideration to bad horror movies and maze movies for kids. I have researched and found the best maze movie posters.

Want to know which of these movies are the best ?

The 5 best maze movies for kids ?

The 10 best maze horror movies ?

The 5 worst maze movies to avoid ?

So why do I need another post about maze and labyrinth movies? Well I want to sort and summarize the movies into types of movies. You may like a particular type of movie - horror, crime, mystery, action and so this will help you find your lane. And what is the maze scene that gets the movie on the list to begin with ?

So I made a Google Sheet to sort and classify the movies. The columns allow you to sort and filter for the following data points: Name of movie, year released, maze scene, Rating, Movie Type, Sub-genre, Language, Movie length, IMDB rating, Worldwide box office, and notable stars in the movie.

Let’s say you want to know what movies are good for kids, you can sort by rating and here is what you find:

Maze Movies Rated G

Alice in Wonderland (1951 - G)

Muppets from Space (1999 - G)

Maze Movies Rated PG or TV - PG, or approved

Flowers for Algernon (2000 - TV-PG)

How to Train your Dragon (2010 - PG)

Labyrinth (1986 - PG)

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974 - PG)

Mazes and Monsters (1982 - PG)

Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017 - PG)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022 - PG)

Tales from the Crypt (1972 - PG)

Time Bandits (1981 - PG)

The Maze (1955 - approved)

Another example would be what are the mostly highly rated maze movies ?

Inception - 8.8

The Shining - 8.4

Pan’s Labyrinth - 8.2

How to Train Your Dragon - 8.1

Prisoners - 8.1

That is a wonderful list of movies to watch ! Sort however you want. As I watch new maze movies the list will grow !

Here is the link to the sheet, which I will also add to the movie page.
