    Hey you missed Meatloaf in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

  2. Alice

    … and Roger Daltry in Tommy. Even so, my vote, is always for Bowie (though preferred him in The Man Who Fell to Earth)

  3. Open Channel D

    Bowie for “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence”.

    Honorable Mention for Phil Collins in “The Great Train Robbery.”

  4. Gene Simmons in RUNAWAY with Tom Selleck. Want to talk about evil bad guys!

  5. Squidthoughts

    And Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic

  6. While I love Dune (even though it’s basically anti capitalism set in space) I have to give it to Neil Diamon in Saving Silverman.

  7. Here’s a few you missed:

    Oh, and if you’re going to do Bowie, shouldn’t you have instead done, “Merry Christmas, Mister Lawrence?” Then again, he did do “Zoolander” as well.

    –Keith Richards in “Pirates of the Carribean-At World’s End” (at least he didn’t need much makeup.)
    –Aimee Mann in “The Big Lebowski”
    –Ice Cube in “Friday” and “Boyz In The Hood”
    –Billy Idol in “The Wedding Singer”
    –Lemmy in “Airheads”
    –Bruce Springsteen in “High Fidelity”

  8. Do not forget Billy Idol in Wedding Singer.

  9. Loved Bowie in Labyrinth… Your remind me of the babe–What babe?

  10. I have never seen any of those movies in that poll.

    I would have, however, voted for Meatloaf in “Rocky Horror: since I did see that one.

  11. malclave

    John Lennon in “How I Won the War”.

    Why are you looking at me like that? At least I didn’t say Peter Frampton in “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Or Meat Loaf in “State Fair”.

  12. Raven

  17. The Duke

    Sting…. in “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels”

  21. S6R

    Don’t forget Anthony Kiedis from the Chili Peppers in Point Break, when he gets shot in the sneaker.

    Honestly, I can’t wait for your poll on professional athletes in movies.

  22. SSG Medzyk

    Along with Neil Diamond starring in ‘The Jazz Singer’ and ‘America”.

    ….please do not ask why i know this crap…

  23. jcrue

    Alice Cooper in Wayne’s World anyone?

    “Actually , it’s pronounced ‘mill-e-wah-que’ which is Algonquin for ‘the good land.’”

  24. Mike D.

    Kid Rock in Joe Dirt

    Aerosmith in Wayne’s World

    BB King in Spies Like Us

    …and since you said “Rock star” not necessarily “music artist” the greatest Rock star appearance in movie history is Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff…”y’all want a shot uh Whiskey?”

    Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands.
