David Bowie is renowned for his music career, but he also made notable contributions to the film industry. Two of our faves include "The Prestige" (2006),in which Bowie portrays Nicola Tesla, and "The Man Who Fell to Earth" (1976), in which he plays an alien in search of water for his drought-stricken planet. Tell us: what's your favorite Bowie movie, and WHY? ❇️

The Prestige 2006 for sure. Incredible picture.
The Man Who Fell To Earth because it's a rather usual sci-fi movie that falls apart technically, but is so very compelling.
Labyrinth hands down.
Labyrinth.
trivia: Gates McFadden (Dr Crusher from Star Trek) did the choreography for the ballroom scene.
Labyrinth, anyone that can pull off that haircut and one hand juggle a crystal ball has to be a winner. :)
Furyo. The only one I watched.
Do cameos count?
His appearance in Zoolander was top notch.
Labyrinth (1986)
Labyrinth is a 1986 musical fantasy film directed by Jim Henson with George Lucas as executive producer. Based on conceptual designs by Brian Froud, the film was written by Terry Jones, and many of its characters are played by puppets produced by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The film stars Jennifer Connelly as 16-year-old Sarah and David Bowie as Jareth, the Goblin King. In Labyrinth, Sarah embarks on a quest to reach the center of an enormous, otherworldly maze to rescue her infant half-brother Toby, whom she wished away to Jareth.
The Prestige, of course.
