3. Labyrinth

Bowie’s most iconic movie role is, without any doubt, the role of the Goblin King in the extremely popular Labyrinth movie.

Not only is he remembered for a great performance, Bowie is also acknowledged for making a whole new soundtrack and singing all through the movie. And let’s face it – the man was pretty hot in that outfit.

A lot of kids got to know Bowie thanks to his great role as the antagonist in the Jennifer Connelly-starring flick, and most of those kids are still grateful to this day for the fact that Bowie decided to act in it.

When the news of his acting shenanigans came out, no one actually thought that he was going to go along with it, to that extent. Thankfully, he did.
