Michael Jackson, 'Thriller' (1984)

Not only the most famous music video ever made, this spellbinding cinematic vehicle showcases Michael Jackon's incomparable style at its peak. Even zombified, he exudes a deathly cool swagger in cropped pants, white socks, loafers and iconic custom miltary jacket, which went up for auction recently. Surprisingly, despite its immortal status nearly 30 years later, "Thriller" didn't win Video of the Year that honor went to the Cars. However, it did pick up Best Choreography and the all-important Viewer's Choice Award.
