I listened to his music that night and fell asleep, when i woke up i went down stairs and saw the TV which announced he had died and i was gutted.

@WrenFaithBridger 6 лет назад

A few days before he died we heard about his new album being released on his birthday. My older daughter, who had just turned 13, said, "I've GOT to get that album!" I knew she liked him; I didn't know how much. It killed me to tell her when I heard the news; she was gutted. She still has a black star on her violin in tribute.

@dochka 7 лет назад

everyone's talking about labyrinth, but merry christmas mr lawrence is, in my opinion, one of the best films ever made, no only was bowie's performance breathtaking, the soundtrack, the other actors, the script, and the setting were perfect, and the film really deserves more recognition. for me, watching the film marked the ending of my childhood. also, bowie's character was from south africa, not new zealand.

@tootsiebellevue1298 7 лет назад

Yes I agree it deserves more recognition, maybe a re-release at the movies. Having watched this on the big screen as a Bowie fan was such a memorable experience, his portrayal was quite stunning and made me realise that not only was he breathtakingly handsome but was also an incredible actor as well as a music legend. I recently found the Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence soundtrack in an op-shop for just $1, I had forgotten just how beautiful it really was.

@dochka 7 лет назад

Tootsie Bellevue yes the soundtrack is so lovely, the main theme is easily one of the most beautiful pieces of music i've ever heard, a rerelease would be so wonderful

@tootsiebellevue1298 7 лет назад

The minute I heard that main theme score again, took me right back to thinking of Bowie, yes it is very moving if only for that reason. I adore how songs come with their very own personal memory for each of us.

Also they did not included tv series The Hunger (series, not movie), to which David did intro narrative for each episode.

Same! I was electrified (haha) by Tesla's character the first time I saw the film, and wondered, "Who is it that plays him? Must be a great actor..." then the second time I saw it, someone pointed out that it was David Bowie, who I admired but absolutely did not recognize in that role.

@magnuskallas Год назад

Talking of The Prestige... With all respect, I have a bad feeling the writers of this piece didn't truly study Bowie. For instance, The Hunger (1983) didn't happen "a few years" after Thin White Duke / Station to Station (1976) era. And Bowie was essentially playing an inventor in The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976), combining Thin White Duke with Thomas Newton's character and vice versa. Heck, Station to Station album art is taken straight from the film. And the next album, Low (1977) again used a shot from the film. In that light, Bowie playing Tesla was rather an obvious casting choice.

@thevoid99 8 лет назад

bowie's performance as warhol many believe (by those who knew warhol) was the most accurate as bowie not only knew andy but also socialized with him which was why many felt bowie really brought warhol back to life. and let's not forget the fact that he wrote a song about him back in the early 70s.

Basquiat is the only occasion where you'll get to see Bowie and Christopher Walken in the exact same movie. He was considered for the role of Max Zorin in A View To A Kill but turned it down and also he was considered for the role of Max Shreck in Batman Returns. The role Malcolm McDowell played in the Cat People remake was originally considered for him as well (coincidentally he did the theme for that movie too).

When I saw Basquiat, I didn't even see David Bowie after a while... He really was Andy Warhol! I will miss him, though. He reinvented himself through the decades, musically and image wise...

labyrinth should have been number 1 It was the best kids flim of 80's

@Ratje.. 8 лет назад

true

@Samuel-b 8 лет назад

in my personal opinion there were better kids films from the 80s, but labyrinth is definitely in the top 10 or top 5 for sure. Everyone has their own opinion though.

@sourgrape7511 8 лет назад

At the time, no. Labyrinth was only considered great by the majority until the 90's, it wasn't well received when it first released. Which is sad because him Henson stop making movie after it flopped at the box office

+Sour Grape no offense dude but your grammar is really crappy.

RIP MR. Bowie/Stardust. You are missed. I have most of these movies, but there's a couple on here I don't have that I have to look for. The Linguini Incident is one of them.

@taradresbach4684 8 лет назад

I wasn't surprised that David Bowie was cast as Andy Warhol. He actually knew the man and even had a song on Hunky Dory about him. And I'm fine with Thomas Jerome Newton being the #1 slot. My parents talked about "The Man Who Fell to Earth" incessantly. It was an image from that film that was used for the album art on "Low." "Labyrinth" may be the Bowie film I hold dearest to my heart because of my age, but I am content with "The Man Who Fell to Earth" being regarded as his best role. He was always amazing at being the Other.

@burpie3258 8 лет назад

+Tara Dresbach I think the album art for Station to Station was also taken from The Man Who Fell to Earth

@taradresbach4684 8 лет назад

+burpie I think you're right. Both Low and Station to Station used images from The Man Who Fell to Earth as album art.

The Hunger is my favourite, though I enjoy watching all the movies from the list.

@linkeffect82 8 лет назад

A great list that's provided me with some new films to look for to enjoy some awesome David Bowie performances! Thanks Watchmojo! Honestly though, I was thrown for a loo with Nicolas Tesla, I had NO idea that was David! Aside from his very good performance, his makeup and clothing were just perfect you can say, though I'm sure his closest fans caught sight of him quickly, I had no clue it was him in that role.

@JohnnyDMJ 8 лет назад

Thank Mojo for this fanatic video (like always) as Bowie has been a true inspiration and my beloved hero. I've loved him, his music and his movies since I was 10 (now I'm 18) falling in with my hero with his performance in Labyrinth. I agree with several others who have commented saying how brilliant The Man Who Fell To Earth is' and it's quite a master piece and one of his very best; but as Labyrinth is what has brought me into the world of Bowie madness for me I would have chosen it as the performance for the number one spot and then The Man Who Fell To Earth as number two.
