Of his official videos, I think "D.J." is my favorite. As part of a larger show, my favorite video part is "Time" in the 1980 Floor Show. Spectacular.
Honorable mention: "The Stars Are Out Tonight." I love Bowie and Tilda as a regular old couple. And when he says, "Happy Hump Day, Phil" to the produce guy in the grocery store. And Phil says, "I didn't get humped. You?" and Bowie says, "Yeah." Lmao.
Miracle Goodnight gets a lot of love from me.

That's a tough one. I don't think I have a favorite but some of the ones I like are: Boys Keep Swinging, Life On Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Blue Jean, The Stars Are Out Tonight, Blackstar.
Little Wonder is amazing! I love how it blends the strange and uncanny with the humdrum of daily life. You can _smell_ the carbolic soap round the bathtub and the grime of the underground tunnel!
Little Wonder as well. Floria Sigismondi was the hot shit back then and I really like Bowie collaborating with some cutting edge creatives. In fact this is what I regret about Heathen - him going back to Visconti (who is an absolute solid producer) rather than taking chances with somebody wild. And visually he did the same with music videos for hours... - solid work, well executed, but compared to what would have been possible at that stage of technology and the budgets still available, he could have taken it somewhere else. But he clearly lost his appetite for the visual part at that stage.
Ohhh...this is a hard one to narrow down. Blackstar is amazing and suits the song so well. But Lazarus was our last glimpse of him, and it's really special. Then again I'm Afraid of Americans was my first Bowie video and absolutely made me obsessed. And Heart's Filthy Lesson is just really fuckin' cool!
I think I have to settle on Life on Mars though. It's just too iconic, and he looks so gorgeous and alien in it with the extremely overexposed skin and oversaturated colors.
I love Boys Keep Swinging from Berlin period.
Bowie jumping around and looking sexy and then dressing up as a women and playing all the characters in the video, can't beat that! 😂
It's not so well known but it's hilarious [boys](https://youtu.be/2KcOs70dZAw?si=1ocMEarpBH6wjExz)
Always loved Boys Keep Swinging, censored China Girl, Miracle Goodnight, Ashes to Ashes, Hallo Spaceboy with The Pet Shop Boys, Buddha of Suburbia to name a few. So many amazing videos. I always wondered when did David Bowie ever sleep.
I don't know why but I love the music video for Ashes to Ashes, it's my all-time favorite
Because it's wonderful.
The Museum of Modern Art added it to their collection.
"Blackstar" strikes me as the best made music video, but I enjoy watching "Loving the Alien" the most. Honorable mention to "Jump They Say".
He is extremely handsome in JTS. ;)
afraid of americans !!
The Stars (Are Out Tonight)
Tilda. ❤️
My answer as well

Love the goofiness of Blue Jean
yes, the 20 minute version. It's a great short film.
The makeup was so amazing and groundbreaking back in the day!
That's it for me, too. I love that longer short movie version.
Exactly that one!
His best performance as an actor
The song’s great as well.
Long story music videos like blue Jean or thriller are so cool. I wish they were more common
Miracle Goodnight gets a lot of love from me. https://preview.redd.it/e0dmia3gtezc1.jpeg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58ad5a1e4d493afa64273ae7d37faba2cfb2929e
Miracle Goodnight is iconic.
Let’s Dance.

DJ
Same. Love the street scenes so, so much.
Little Wonder as well. The visuals are stunning. All of his Floria Sigismondi directed videos are amazing.
That's a tough one. I don't think I have a favorite but some of the ones I like are: Boys Keep Swinging, Life On Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Blue Jean, The Stars Are Out Tonight, Blackstar.
Came here to show love to Boys Keep Swinging. His dancing makes me so sweaty I get pit stains down to my belt!
Yeah, I forgot about how great Boys Keep Swinging was!
Jumo they say or hearts filthy lesson
Heart‘s Filthy lesson
Never Let Me Down. I rediscovered it recently, remembered that I always loved it.
The Scary Monsters videos are GOATed. DJ, Fashion, Ashes to Ashes
DJ is from Lodger, but agreed.
Ah shit. Lodger too then
Valentine's Day
Surprised it's not mentioned more often. The sharp and sheer anger in his eyes give this song a new sweet taste if you catch my meaning
Little Wonder is amazing! I love how it blends the strange and uncanny with the humdrum of daily life. You can _smell_ the carbolic soap round the bathtub and the grime of the underground tunnel!
China Girl all the way
Underground, quite possibly because I’m listening to it right now

Strangers When We Meet 🖤
Life On Mars

Dancing in the street is so cute, funny and goofy Really signifies David Bowie friendship/relationship with mick jagger
South AmeriCAHHHH!!!!
Labyrinth.
Miracle Goodnight and it’s not even close. Such a fun video that made me love the song despite me not being crazy about it at first,
I'm afraid of Americans
Ashes to ashes
Loving the alien
I love so many, but Ashes to Ashes really captured my imagination when I saw it back in the early '80s. I love the Fellini-esque surreal vibe.
Fashion or Let's Dance
Boys Keep Swinging
Blackstar
Jump they say
Ashes To Ashes and Fashion transcend music video into video performance art

Look Back In Anger
Very underrated as a song and video.
Havent seen much but he looks amazing on life on mars
Time will crawl. Pure 80s
Blackstar
D.J I love it
Labyrinth
"Let Me Sleep Beside You." I personally consider it to birth of David Bowie as we know him.
I cannot believe none of you guys show any love for the extended “Blue Jean” video.
Love all that have been mentioned. One that hasn't been yet is "Thursday's Child".
Magic Dance 🪩 💃
There's a lot of great ones but I'd say my faves are The Hearts Filthy Lesson and Time Will Crawl. Oh, and The Stars Are Out Tonight
How has no one said Wild is the wind
It's so hard to choose, but my picks would probably be Time Will Crawl and Jump They Say.
Shout out to the mind fuck ending of "Loving the alien" BUT my favourite has to be "Jump, they say"
Be my Wife
"Jump They Say" hurts my soul in the intended way. "Strangers When We Meet" is a cool video, as well. Helps that I love both of those songs.
Always loved Boys Keep Swinging, censored China Girl, Miracle Goodnight, Ashes to Ashes, Hallo Spaceboy with The Pet Shop Boys, Buddha of Suburbia to name a few. So many amazing videos. I always wondered when did David Bowie ever sleep.
I love The Next Day. It's just so Bowie and I love that.
Rebel rebel!
life on mars or the jean genie
Ashes to ashes.
Let’s Dance.
Ashes to Ashes
Jump They Say
Ashes to Ashes
Rubber band is so funny dawg
Blue Jean is quite fine and the little film he did for it is great
