Best David Bowie Film Role

[frunk]

Note that we are talking about Bowie's performance/character, not the quality of the film itself.  I think I hit the highlights but I'm sure I missed one.

[Duque de Bragança]

What about Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence? 

[Valmy]

The one I will alway remember is Labyrinth.

[celedhring]

The Man Who Fell to Earth, comfortably. He was born to play that role.

The fact that he was on drugs for most of the production adds to his performance

What about Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence? 

There we go, there's my blindspot.

[Martinus]

Not on topic, but I always loved his over-the-top, fabularised and fabulous portrayal by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in "Velvet Goldmine".

Voted other, not because this film is my favourite, but I think it deserves a mention, 'The Hunger'.

Wasn't Catherine Deneuve is co-star?

And Susan Sarandon

And Susan Sarandon

Oh, that rings a bell. 

Now that I recall it, it was a half decent film, though I've not seen it for 30 odd years.

The Hunger is pretty bad, but the women are and look hott.

[Sophie Scholl]

Of the ones I've seen, Labyrinth.  Side recognition for The Venture Brothers, even though it isn't him voicing his character.

[Caliga]

The Hunger is pretty bad, but the women are and look hott.

I actually remember liking it a lot as a kid.

You were into hot lesbian vampires as a kid? 

[Caliga]

I'm guessing that aspect of the movie didn't hurt.

IIRC The Hunger was one of those movies Showtime used to run late at night during the naughty movie hours.

[Habbaku]

The Prestige.  Perfect Tesla.
