Thriller 40 Official Trailer | SHOWTIME 

“There are two things in the music business, before thriller and after thriller” I’m Proud to be a fan of Michael Jackson! Forever the king of pop! Forever the greatest of all time!

Music is split between pre MJ and post MJ. His influence is the ultimate blueprint to musical pop culture. Period…

This documentary is going to remind the world as to how much of a genius this man truly was and why he will FOREVER reign as the undisputed King of Pop, I can’t wait! 👑✨

“If Thriller came out today it would still be the greatest album ever made.” Those are facts!

One thing that has proven why MJ is the greatest of all time is that he was known worldwide before the internet became a thing. Imagine that. No Facebook, no RU-vid, nothin', and yet he was known. According to my dad, the first time Thriller was on television everything stopped.

Can you imagine if Michael did go on the thriller tour!? Oh that would've been simply historic!!!

Michael Jackson as an artist is finally being talked about, how Thriller raised the bar for the recording industry. The greatest artist finally, gets the proper attention he deserves.

I remember watching the Bad 25 documentary back in 2012 and coming to understand just how influential and iconic MJ was. I love that these specials keep happening to reintroduce his music to new generations. A great way to preserve his legacy.

I could cry, i want to see this so bad

Honestly, there's no comparison with the Thriller album. The genius, patients, beat, frequencies... The universe itself slowed down when this album was being created. 👑 FOREVER Michael Jackson.

We will never see another star like Michael Jackson ever again he was a one of a kind talent and person. Thriller will always be the greatest album ever

Every generation, every age and simply everyone needs to know who changed the music industry. They dont value our King anymore as much as they used to. They make fun of him, spread lies and compare him. But we need to make this man go as high as he used to be. Let people realize and remember how much the King of Music is actually worth!

Lowkey wish this was in theaters so we could feel that chaos again, the tickets selling out, the rush of fans in the theatre rooms, the screaming people when they show performance clips - that would’ve been like reliving it

There has never been another born performer like Michael Jackson! I’ll never forget seeing him & the Jackson Five on tv for the first time. I thought to myself, where did this little kid with a HUGE talent come from? He was the youngest in the band, but he made the band! He had so much charisma with his fly dance moves & a killer voice. He looked so at ease, as if he had years of experience performing. He went on to take the world by storm. There has never been another MJ and there never will be! His passing was an extreme loss for the music and dance community. We will always remember him for his groundbreaking talent.😔

I wore this album OUT back in the 80's. I'm surprised MTV didn't crash from all the times his videos ran from this album. Best of all time, period.

The greatest album of all time! And now let's make history, listen to Thriller in streaming and take the king as high as possible for Halloween 👑❤️

Michael Jackson Thriller changed the world and society , it is the most selling, earth and record breaking album of all time ! 💥

It’s time to take over the entire globe with this documentary I’m truly ready to do my part MJ Is A True Hero & Icon nobody could,will or ever compare to Michael Joseph Jackson The King Of Music Thriller wasn’t just a musical masterpiece it was a culture shifter towards something we’d never witness again!👑🐐🌟

Every song on the album was a hit. Almost no artist can say that, but MJ could.

It’s hard to explain to people born since Thriller just how huge it was. No Facebook, no RU-vid, less media and no reality TV et cetera meant there were a lot less ‘stars’ around then than there are today, and so those few people that were famous then were famous in a mega way that young people today just can’t comprehend. Newspapers and showbiz columns had a few dozen people to report on compared to thousands now.

40 years already, and I am still playing this today!

Honestly... I NEVER thought about what Will I. Am said... " if the Thriller album came out today it would still become the biggest selling album of all time" and hell.. That's so freaking right! That's insane to think about how great that album is. Top notch quality and creativity all around... a masterpiece.

No one will ever top MJ

I literally CANNOT WAIT!!! The great album in music history FINALLY gets a proper documentary, and I’m here for it.

Nobody is on Mike’s level!!! It’s insane that he did Thriller & followed it up with Bad which is a beast of its own! Bow Down

I had the supreme pleasure of seeing Michael Jackson in person twice in my life. I was on Hollywood Blvd. when he got his star on the Walk of Fame on Tuesday, November 20, 1984. The crowd only saw him for a very brief moment when he climbed on something that made him stand taller. When he got down after what seemed like 10 seconds, we all groaned. I saw him again at Dodger Stadium with his brothers during the Victory Tour. I can’t remember the exact date but the concert was rain delayed for over an hour. Then we watched as stage hands came on stage and mopped all the rain off. That took forever. Then we got a magician as an opening act. I know that Michael loved magic, and this guy was really good, but after the rain delay and the mopping, we just wanted the concert to start. I never forgot that Michael introduced his parents during the concert, and they both came on stage. We cheered and clapped like crazy. Honestly, if we knew then what we know now about how Joseph Jackson treated his son, we would have booed him offstage. 😒 I almost got to see him 3 times but got there too late. Somehow my sister and I found out where a scene for the music video for Thriller was being filmed. It was this area of Los Angeles where there’s a lot of train tracks. It’s pretty much in East LA. When we got there though, he’d already left. This documentary is going to bring back a lot of beautiful memories. Oh, and of course I saw him on tv for the Motown 20 Special. When he did the Moonwalk my jaw literally dropped 😮 Edit: I also know exactly where the Thriller house is. My Godmother lives up the street from there. The area is called Angelino Heights. They film or at least used to film a lot of tv and movie stuff up there. It’s walking distance from Echo Park Lake. It’s super close to downtown. The tv show Charmed filmed the exteriors of the house there too. The Thriller house is like 3-4 houses away from the Charmed house. I grew up walking up and down that street to go to the liquor store at the bottom of the hill to buy candy or play Pac-Man. They filmed that stuff late at night so I wasn’t there and didn’t find out about it until I saw the music video. I’m almost sure that the only person who was at that location was Ola Ray, the girl in the video. They probably shot the scenes where the zombies are trying to break into the house on a Soundstage somewhere else.

This just makes me wish for a full concert in this quality even more 0:08 either victory tour or bad tour!

HIStory tour in Perth WA 1996. It was a 3 nights in Perth I went to 2. On the second night we were talking to the couple next to us. He said he was clearly not a MJ fan. As we talked I said this guy will change that. When Michael sung Beat it being 6 rows from the front and having MJ singing above us on the crane. This guy who is not a MJ fan next to me was crying. What can you say about that. No one has that effect on people other than him. Madness.

im an MJ fan for over 40 years now (!) and still to this day drive around with my car, windows down blowing MJ's music to all corners and let me say this, the moment people recognize his music, they start smiling, gesturing and sometimes even dancing ... MJ will never die ...

Wow here I am at 42 years of age and still get chills and goosebumps whenever I see MJ with that black jacket and infamous glove and hat moonwalk across the stage at Motown. RIP to the GOAT Of Entertainment.

I was fortunate enough to see the private screening in London, I can’t wait to witness it again. The new/remastered footage is perfect!

Thriller wasn’t just an album, it was the soundtrack to the lives of people all over the world in the early 80s.

This Is one of those "you gotta be a certain age to understand" things. I was there. I understand. Thriller stopped everything else. A damn near flawless album.

I hate drifting off and forgetting Michael Jackson is dead. It's been so many years and it still doesn't feel real

Finally a positive movie about Michael’s and he’s art ✨

Bad...Off The Wall...and now FINALLY Thriller has its own documentary! The trifecta will at last be complete! Is this a Spike Lee joint though?????

They tried to take Michael's legacy but it couldn't be done! Forever an icon, forever the king of pop! Thanks, Michael for not only giving us Thriller but for changing and innovating the music world and culture forever! Continue to rest in power! ✊️

well it's still selling like hotcakes. I am 41 years old and i still get chills just thinking about the album.

My first time hearing thriller was on a record player. No social media or so called fake asz influencers to promote anything who have no real talent!!! Bow down to the 👑

Greatest album in music history

When I was a baby, my parents would play this for me and I would dance to it. It's still one of my favorite albums of all time. Essentially, the perfect pop album. I only wish I was old enough to genuinely appreciate it at the time it was released.

Absolute legend I don’t care how many times people make fun of him he is a king

MJ is ICONIC & PHENOMENAL! Its 2023 and til today no one can even come close to this level of talent, showmanship, humanitarianism, grace and leadership. Even his concerts rehearsals are way better than the current artists' actual concerts. There will never be anyone like him. I feel sorry for those who never got to see the King of Pop and experience his magic. RIP MJ💔. You are forever missed and loved!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

finally we got a true documentary of michael now all i need is a movie ppl need to witness why he was the goat and one of the best humans alive

This documentary about to be fire

THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME, I'M VERY PROUD TO BE A FAN OF THIS MAN.

This Documentary is a MUST SEE.

I’ll never forget when I was little watching the Motown special and he was performing, and all of a sudden……..he does the moonwalk 🫨🫨😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen to see a man seemingly glide , backwards. Yeah I’ll NEVER FORGET THAT!!!!!

I never forgot when I BEGGED my Pops for that album back in 83 ( I was 6 yrs old ) & and I INSTANTLY knew then at that young age that the Great MICHEAL JACKSON was a phenomenon. I wanted the jacket with the zippers, glitter socks, did the Moonwalk in school & parties whenever my Pops wanted to impress company... lol Such a nostalgic piece of untouchable artistry that Micheal Jackson created with the Unmatchable Quincy Jones leading the way. Of all the unskippable songs on that classic piece, LADY IN MY LIFE is still one of my favorite songs on that album to this day. Can't wait to see this movie/documentary.

michael jackson is a musical genius

It's about his energy, talent and genious. The MJ era will never be repeated. And so, no singer or showman/girl will gonna reach his thing never ever.

the music, the dance, the video, the fashion, the performances. he's MJ for a reason!

0:08. 1:43 victory tour. 0:26 Michael voice

I've watched this over 1000x

Michael is the reason why I’ve been pursuing music for 15 years

The KING, legend as a child, legend as a teen, legend as an adult, nobody has had his career! We love you Michael ✨✨

Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time

His legacy will live on forever. His talent is untouchable. He is the one and only entertainer in the world that will ever have that kind of star power. That talent was a gift from god and Michael knew that. He was the most humble of them all and genuinely cared about the world. If only he were here today to remind humanity that war is not the answer, love is. Thank you for everything Michael Jackson!!!!

Man, I love Thriller-Mike

This looks great! The level of fame and influence MJ had and still has is unmatched, RIP MJ 👑

Thriller spearheaded and revolutionized popular music, video, and culture as we know it for the last 40 years and will continue to for probably the rest of the century. It established Michael Jackson as undoubtedly the most influential and popular entertainer of the 20th century. Jackson broke racial barriers in MTV and other mainstream music platforms and changed the way music videos were choreographed, shot, and produced. Pop culture has never seen anything quite as groundbreaking since Thriller and likely never will.

MJ will never be forgotten. Even today young people know who Michael Jackson was. He was smart. Just like a Xmas song, Thriller is a Halloween song for people around the world and at the rave i went to in London last week when The DJ dropped it with a house beat in the background everyone went crazy! 😍 Billie Jean gets played to this day in clubs cos it sounds like a song that could have come out yesterday even though it’s over 40 years old & everyone dances to it.

Finally a positive and truthful documenatry about Micheal jackson

Forever The king of pop The Goat the Greatest of all time ❤ love you MJ

some of these victory tour shots look like they were filmed in 2023. this is going to be great

There will NEVER be anyone who will ever be near Michael Jackson's level! R.I.P. King of Pop

My mother was 7 or 8 months pregnant with me while at the victory tour of the jacksons😳😳😳 ever since the womb,I was and still is,a Infinity Micheal Jackson fan😎I remember my dad and I preparing,just looking so forward to watching mj interview with oprah Winfrey during the mid 90s,good times😎

BASKETBALL: before Michael Jordan, after Michael Jordan MUSIC: before Michael Jackson, after Michael Jackson

MISS YOU MICHAEL JACKSON!! 😭😭💔

Wasn't alive for the Thriller era but it was special not only album sales but the influence was so great that every artist has compared their own best album to it. There's never been anything like it before or since

Can't wait to see this documentary. Michael Joseph Jackson, the King of Pop, forever.

I saw people on social media fighting over who was the new king of pop, and I'm afraid to tell you that there will never be anyone like Michael

The best to have ever done it and always will be. RIP MJ

I’m currently watching as I type and been searching around for this on YT. But Thriller is a standalone uniquely powerful album. He gave you gangsta, He gave you pop, he gave you a love song, a love story, and a high school love story. He gave you feminine and masculine, and vulnerability. Thrills, because of the theatrical adventure. You never know what was gonna happen and then end the end he gave you a scary movie. Thriller left you breathless clutching your pearls. And the badass he is, he released it on Christmas, during a time your with family, to let you know that I am making music that’ll impact families. “I am going to be a forever household name.” He was the greatest. I loved the story on how they put Starting Something together, and the idea and thought for the creation of thriller was amazing😩 every detail mattered and exemplified him more and more.

Finally, some 4K scans of the Victory Tour 🎉

No one will ever top Michael. No one. Ever.

Finally a documentary on this classic album. This album & other great records kicked started the awesome Decade called the 80's at the end of 1982. I can't wait to see it.

Mann I cry everytime somebody mention something bout him ion if I'm gone be able to watch the documentary

Michael was a true artist. He was what a singer and songwriter was all about. He loved what he did. He really did. He will always be my favorite male singer and Thriller will always be my favorite song!!

2024 is about to be Michael's year with the biopic move coming up.

I grew up listening to MJ as a kid and I still listen to his music as an adult this documentary is gonna be Dope MJ is definitely the GOAT R.I.P. MJ

That’s how you do it!!..And to have the release date exactly 40 years to the date when the Thriller video dropped is just the icing on the cake!!..Can’t wait to see this!

Michael Jackson made all the Greats before him obsolete, and covered all the Greats after him in his shadow. The Coldest to ever hit the stage.

We can't wait. Hopefully, it will include many live recordings from the Victory Tour. A concert from 1984 should definitely be officially released in full length anyway. Michael was at his peak, although everyone thought he had already reached it on the Triumph Tour. And with the Bad Tour he surpassed himself again. Unbelievable.

It's time for them to release the short films Thriller and Ghosts as a double feature on Blu-ray and 4k.

Did you all know when Michael Jackson died the internet went crazy and almost crashed.

I hope this documentary also tackles what MTV did at that time and wouldn't play Michael Jackson's videos and how he had to break the color barrier there at that time for MTV. I really hope they just don't skim over that and really dive deep into that situation.

This album changed the music industry forever

That keyboard synth bass.. Legendary

The King of Pop

The greatest everrrrrr💯💯🎩❤️❤️❤️

Michael Jackson is a once in any lifetime singer, performer, entertainer, innovator, music video pioneer! God bless his soul and rest in glory forever! I remember growing up as a itty bitty little kid in Brooklyn, and I was in 2nd grade (1983) wearing 4 different types of Michael Jackson Thriller Album Art Pin Buttons on my jacket or shirts! Besides the 1970s and 1990s; the 1980s will always be in a absolute awesome decade/era in a genre of life all by itself! Not up for debate!

King

No matter what "he did", Michael Jackson is and always will be the King Of Pop, his legacy will never end because of an accusation that's never been proven.

Glad I met the king of Pop a month before he passed I will hold on to that meeting. Can’t wait to watch this documentary!!

I want this in cinema!! I will gladly sit for 3 hours and watch an MJ story any day!!

I was born in 1980. I discovered Thriller when I was 10.

Kids around the world knows who Michael Jackson is. That's how you know his name will never die any time soon.

If Thriller came out today it would still be the greatest album ever made. So true. Yes Indeed. I ❤ MJ. 14 Dec 2023.

Aah I just can't wait to see this! It was about time Thriller had it's own documentary.
