Bowie knew how to play a role now this
be a straight walk off old school rules
first model walks second model
duplicates then elaborates okay boys

welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
David Bowie movie performances here you
see Wesley Colin I want you to use your
imagination for this list though David
Bowie had a musical career that spanned
decades he was no stranger to the big
screen as such we’re taking a look at
those performances that show him off at
his finest and most memorable why don’t
you just take a match to my polls right
now number 10
Monty the linguine incident this is the
perfect opportunity for you to get to
know me better
kicking off our list is David Bowie’s
dip into the world of romantic comedies
y’all never seen an easier mark Oh
Tony’s gonna save – buddy not listen
this restaurant is begging to be robbed
all right so it’s more of a heist comedy
with some romantic elements but still
the linguine incident has multiple
storylines and sees Bowie taking on the
role of a charming British bartender
living and working in New York City he
also happens to be desperate to get
married so he can get a green card
attorney I’ve got to get my green card
Oh a song fast although comedy was an
unusual genre for him but we still
provided a solid performance alongside
other more established actors like
Rosanna Arquette as well as cameos by
his wife Iman and Julian Lennon the
famous
linguini and sailing bringing incident
number nine Phillip Jeffries twin peaks’
fire walk with me I’m not going to talk
about Jude in fact we’re not going to
talk about Judi at all we’re gonna keep
her out of it if you grew up in the
early 90s then you’ll remember the
popularity of Twin Peaks it’s
cancellation prompted the creation of a
movie that served as both a prequel and
an epilogue to the famed TV series
Gordon I know fire walk with me sees
Bowie make a short but nevertheless
important appearance as Phillip Jeffries
a missing FBI agent who reappears
suddenly in a delusional state in front
of his colleagues and warns them of the
spiritual dangers that await who do you
think this is there some bumps in the OL
noggin know what the characters
subsequent abrupt disappearance enabled
Bowie to catch the attention of audience
members as he added even more madness
into the mystery of Twin Peaks Jeffries
number 8
Bendis partners absolute beginners
lovely no it’s not Sony’s army picture a
time in England before rock-and-roll but
after the Second World War
we don’t sell things we sell dreams this
is the setting in which Bowie takes on a
supporting role as an advertising
executive in a musical that also
featured other major British musicians
like Ray Davies of the kinks oh and we
did a program bit like it was yesterday
I wish it was tomorrow and I canceled it
the movie brings light to various issues
that affected England during this time
such as race and cultural change and
also allows Bowie to display his true
musical talent in various musical
numbers
number seven John Blaylock the hunger
with so many different personas
throughout the decades the mid-70s Thin
White Duke Bowie was as vampire-like as
you could get this is what made his role
as John Blaylock a few years later even
more believable and captivating
promised eternal life by another vampire
John and Miriam embark on an eternal
reign of terror in the streets of New
York City feasting on the unsuspecting
watching this lustful and eerie movie
will definitely make you look behind you
the next time
Ziggy Stardust comes up on your playlist
come here number six major Jax Draper
cellars Merry Christmas mr. Laurence
what did you say I said I thought they
would crackers talk about an
international movie this British
Japanese film sees David Bowie star as
an army major from New Zealand being
held captive in a Japanese pio wkm
Lawrence look we’re going walkies this
world war ii movie would see bowie gain
attention for his portrayal of the
equally rebellious and compassionate
military officer who develops a strange
bond with the japanese officers hey you
guess what I’m thinking yes I understand
can you a favorite among British
audiences the film and Bowie’s
performance were extremely well received
by critics and received international
praise listen we’re getting out to this
okay okay
over my shoulder eight colleges number
five Pontius Pilate the Last Temptation
of Christ
you had better seasoned one of the last
movies you would probably ever expect
David Bowie to be in is a film about the
beginnings of Christianity which could
also be why he is perfect for the role
of Pontius Pilate the brutal Roman
governor of Judea you know it’s one
thing to want to change the way that
people live but you want to change how
they think how they feel in a Martin
Scorsese directed film opposite a
star-studded cast that includes
Hollywood heavyweights like Willem Dafoe
and Harvey Keitel Bowie is able to hold
his own and garnered praise for his
portrayal of the demonized Roman
politician who sentences Jesus to
crucifixion simply it doesn’t matter how
you want to change things we don’t want
them changed number four Andy Warhol
Basquiat whoa
okay anyone if there was one role that
David Bowie was born to play it was Andy
Warhol Oh piss man
piss painting Sean oxidation on in the
same way that Warhol influenced art with
his unique eccentricity Bowie influenced
music well we even borrowed Warhol’s
real-life wig glasses and jacket for the
role hey we’ve got a Pittsburgh I kind
of grew up there I have this room there
with all the world’s famous statues and
this is why he fit right in with his
portrayal of Warhol in this modern
biopic of his young protégé
jean-michel basquiat I’m into some more
of these frankestein drinking this great
Mexican beer makes it go this great
green why’d you paint on him yourself
right beer a critic even compared to
Bowie’s onset transformation to a
reincarnated version of Warhol you can’t
receive much better praise than that
maybe you just shouldn’t take things so
seriously
number three Nikola Tesla the prestige
nothing is impossible mr. engineer what
do you want is simply expensive a role
most people wouldn’t expect to see David
Bowie in would be that of a scientist
let alone one of the greatest of all
time Nikola Tesla man’s grasp exceeds
his known Society only tolerates one
change at the time but Bowie didn’t let
anything like this get in his way as he
wowed critics and audiences with his
portrayal of the famed electrical
engineer so this is the great Danton
mr. le has refused about your acting on
any number of occasions the film sees
Bowie help Hugh Jackman’s character to
build a machine that will create the
ultimate illusion and why is it machine
working because exact science mr. NGO is
not an exact science
Bowie didn’t hold back and was even able
to nail a convincing Eastern European
accent for the role these things never
quite work as you expect them to mr. NGO
that’s one of the principal beauties of
science number two Gareth the Goblin
King labyrinth just fear me love me do

movies of the 70s so I’m not a scientist

eternity after he gained international
stardom as Ziggy Stardust and for hits

starring role in this sci-fi drama

catastrophic drought on his home planet
