The Thriller era is probably the most memorable - Beat it, Thriller, Billy Jean... but has far as tech and professional level... Dangerous is tops. Black Or White, Jam, Remeber the Time etc.

John Landis directed Thriller and Black Or White.

John Singelton directed Remember the Time and it starred Eddie Murphy

I think HIStory had some great videos (Scream, They Dont Care, Earth Song) and "Thriller" is the overall video but I like the ones from Bad the most. Funny thing is I'd probably say Bad was my least favorite of those 5 albums.

The Thriller era is probably the most memorable - Beat it, Thriller, Billy Jean... but has far as tech and professional level... Dangerous is tops. Black Or White, Jam, Remeber the Time etc.

John Landis directed Thriller and Black Or White.

John Singelton directed Remember the Time and it starred Eddie Murphy

David Fincher did "Who Is It"
Spike Lee did "They Don't Care About Us" (both versions)
Martin Scorsese did "Bad"
Stan Winston did "Ghost"
Francis Ford Coppola did Captain EO
Sidney Lumet directed the film The Wiz (never seen it myself).
Oh and I'm pretty sure David Lynch directed a Dangerous promo.

I was watching The Nostalgia Critic and he was reviewing Moonwalker but whilst the movie was crap it is said the Smooth Criminal music video in it is the best movie video ever

I'll have to hop on the zombiewagon. Thriller is iconic. I'm also partial to Scream, though. That was one hell of a song/video around '95.

I voted thriller. The best music video of all time! It was like a movie. The first 5 minutes of the movie was all acting, the lyrics were great, the dance phenomenal. His other songs in this decade were great, but this was the best video of all time.
