I respect Thriller for what it was, as well as some of his other classic videos, but at the height of his success with "Beat It" I had had more than enough of my fill of MJ.
"Leave Me Alone" was a fun video that poked fun at both himself and the media's view of him. Plus, how can you not vote for a video that features his chimp, his llama, a shrine to Liz and MJ dancing with the Elephant Man's bones?

i liked Martin Scorcese's "Bad" up until they sing and dance. the preamble was stylized and quite good.
1. probably stick with my original intention and say "They Don't Care About Us" (Prison Version, not so much the originally aired Spike Lee in Brazil version though it is good as well).

2. close second would be "Earth Song".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvWMLAWrEjU
liked the simplicity of "Cry" as well.
and the more i see Landis' "Black or White" the more i like it.
nice job on the thread Jim

I could still watch Thriller any time of day, but Smooth Criminal still has a way of pumping me up somehow. Had to pick that one.

Does the Motown 25th anniversary Billie Jean performance count?
I've gotta go with Smooth Criminal, but Thriller and Remember the Time are right up there, too.

I LOVED the "Thriller" music video because it literally was like a mini-movie. It's still the gold standard that every other music video is compared to by many music critics.

Thriller for me followed by Remember the Time. Blood on the Dance floor is the only one I haven't seen.
Has the music video died? They don't seem to be the rage now a days.

Smooth Criminal (the long version from Moonwalker) is the best choreographed and edited video ever. And the set is just amazing. It's his best video by far. I hadn't seen it in years but VH1 and MTV2 have been playing it lately since he died and it still holds up. Who directed it? I think Vincent Paterson choreographed it with MJ.

I vote Thriller. When I was a kid, my parents taped Thriller when it premiered and there was a "Making Of..." documentary before it and I used to watch both the video and documentary all the time.
