Finest hour is not listed: his intro in Zoolander.

his film work highlight is prob that 5 second 'appearance' in (i think) 'fire walk with me'.

This reminds me of my clear favourite 90s Bowie - "I'm Deranged", the song he did for Lost Highway (which wd actually make it 00s Bowie I guess, oh well) - was it from an album?

It has an awful title of course but it's a good record and well used on screen.

It appears on Outside - that LP also includes "The Heart's Filthy Lesson" which was used to creepy effect on the end credits of Se7en.

Come to think of it, reviewing these comments in their entirety, Bowie is the ultimate movie soundtrack ho, isn't he?

This is true.
