The Madonna "James Foley" Videos!

[Voguerista 6,697]

From the James Foley Videos, which would be your favorite: Live To Tell, Papa Don't Preach, True Blue, Who's That Girl, or The Look Of Love?   This director doesn't get as much attention it seems. Never the less, all four videos are really enjoyable in different ways even if a few of them were shot with movie scenes. Madonna is so beautiful in the "Live To Tell" video. I think it's my favorite from the four. Then again, how can anyone resist the "cuteness" factor of Madonna in "True Blue" or "The Look Of Love" ?

You missed Who's that girl, he directed it under a nickname but that's really Foley. My favourite must be PDP because she showed that she's a good actress in it. At 28 no one questionned she could be a teenager needing her dad's approval to keep her baby

Papa don't preach

The loneliness of Live To Tell is haunting. 
Papa is obviously storytelling and iconic. 
Who’s That Girl is cute for something she did on her lunch break but it looks like a SNL sketch cheapness levels. 
I’ll never get over the lack of attention paid to The Look Of Love. It’s just incredible and a true indicator of where she was going with Like A Prayer energy mindset wise. I’m convinced there’s a level of a sense of foreboding re the Sean situation. I think she knew very quickly they’d never last. He was out of control with jealousy and anger from 1986. 

 

Why does she always ignore my favourite songs. The Look Of Love, Rescue Me, Nothing Fails and Nothing Really Matters. 

Why you do me like this mom ?

I don't think she really ignored NRM , if anything she kept on beating that dead horse for a while, she even performed it at the shammys

It’s a tie between Papa Don’t Preach and Live to Tell for me. Both so good in their own way. The newfound vulnerability (but also strength) in Live to Tell is striking to this day!

I mean it was performed because it was her current single when the Grammys rolled around so promo op but outside of that she abandoned it.

Papa Don't Preach

"Live To Tell"! The first of many reinventions. Just her and the camera.

Simply perfect.

"Live To Tell". It was the first time that I really started to love Madonna.

[OhBabyReadyOrNot 264]

For me, I'd say it's a tie between Live to Tell and True Blue. The latter was very cutesy, but she looked so happy in it - an impression I don't get from her very often.

It also has one of her best videos! Shame it’s not been performed on tour yet.

Papa Don't Preach. Its iconic

Papa Don’t Preach

[Blue Jean 2,909]

Papa don’t preach. It’s the only proper video he really did.

[blondebenji 763]

papa dont preach.  I remember it first premiering on Countdown.  Those days everything was under wraps.  So to see her with the short crop blonde hair was such a shock.  But the video is iconic as everyone says.  But geez Live to tell is a really close second

[Guest DeeperDeeper]

Papa Don't Preach - that song and video was when she was becoming political. 

Also made the 'Italians Do It Better' t-shirt iconic.

Oh that's really hard. I love all this videos .

Papa don't preach is so iconic and this new look was everything. Madonna + New York . I love so much outdoor video. 

I'm a big big fan of her look in who's that girl. Thanks god we have a video with this hair cut and color. She's stunning. That face 

[Ian 1,032]

all of them are cute in their own way tbh

PDP is the shiny gem in the collection

Papa don't Preach. Just perfection.

Everything about "Papa Don't Preach" is iconic in the true sense of the word but I have a soft spot for "Live To Tell", she looks like an ethereal movie star channeling the vulnerability of Monroe and it was such a risky visual reinvention after the mammoth success of Like A Virgin.
