What video have you watched the most?

[Puzz3D]

For me it's Alizée en Concert which I've watched over 100 times.

[InsaneApache]

Life of Brian, by a long stretch. Must be literally hundreds of times and I still find it funny and I still see things in the movie I'd never seen before. It's like a mamouska!

[miotas]

blackadder, it's a DVD, if you want to stick strictly to video, it's probably the lion king from back when i was knee high to a grasshopper

[Sasaki Kojiro]

John Cleese--Airplane Sketch


eh, by video do you mean movie?

In that case it would be Undercover blues, with Dennis Quaid, Kathleen Turner, Stanley Tucci and that guy who always plays a CIA guy, don't know his name.

I followed a link on this forum a long time ago and saw one of Alizee's music videos. I ended up liking her music and listen to it some times (I am into all kinds of bubble gum pop :P), but I refuse to watch any of her videos, because it makes me feel like a degenerate. :P Seriously, it is almost like childporn.

/facepalm

You're doing it all wrong.

The only reason why Alizee exists and is well known outside (and inside) of France is because she moves her bottom like no one else.

The funniest part is that her dance has been added to World of Warcraft, as the Female Night Elf dance. Thousands of 16 years old sexually frustrated players waste their time watching a bunch of pixels dancing like a french chick.

French culture is still #1 I say.

For me, my most watched video is probably this one.
I usually dislike Korn and Anne Rice, but I think this movie had an awesome soundtrack, and I absolutely love that song, that clip and Stuart Townsend.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Wait, so is this specifically what video we have watched most often, or does it refer to anything that contains video (i.e. not audio). Another words, does video include feature-length films as well?

[Spino]

Tombstone

Leone & Morricone shall show you the errors of your sinful ways...

I love this scene. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.


Or you could try this cut down intro to the same film. One of the greatest entrances ever put on film, certainly as far as westerns are concerned. Gotta love the tough guy banter.

When Saving Private Ryan came out I thought it was the best thing ever. A movie that didn't portray the Germans as complete idiots running to the slaughter! Sure their tactics were still horribly misrepresented from a technical standpoint, but I was young and stupid then, and the combat realism was groundbreaking at the time. Must have watched it 100 times....

Lucky you. I have yet to see a good American WWII film that does not portray Russians as drunken imbeciles who use human-wave attacks. How the heck do they think Russia won the war by employing hman-wave attacks?? All you need to stop those are a few well-positioned MG-squads.

But where did you get the impression that American flicks always showed Germans as idiots? I never seemed to get that impression, as the films show Fritzes as normal if not good tacticians. Saving Private Ryan was one of the few films that did show Boches as semi-incompetents. Especially in that scene where a dozen men appear to be holding off an entire battalion of Krauts.

[A Very Super Market]

American films tend to play the Germans as "harmless", at least when the main characters are on-screen. Generally, the closer to World War II you get in years, the more they seem to be bumbling idiots.

Really, there is no reason to show the Germans as bumbling idiots. Perhaps, as unredeemable nazis, but never as bumbling idiots.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

"The longest day" doesn't portray the the germans as idiots, and it was filmed using a bunch of people who actually fought in the war.

Well I can only think of one Hollywood movie that showed Russians during WW2 in any meaningful capacity at all: Enemy at the Gates.

I loved the character Ed Harris created, but yea, the rest of that movie was not at all representative of reality.

There are countless American war films that would have you believe one farm boy from Iowa with a Thompson was the equivalent of several German squads. I don't really fault Hollywood for making such movies though, as that's what Americans want to see. Who wants to go to the movies to see their "team" get gunned down. It doesn't make for a fun Saturday night.

And yes, I did have problems with the last battle in SPR, but it was still much better than I had seen. (I would have a lot more issues watching it today than when i was 13.) The tank action was patently ridiculous, but the rest wasn't too bad if you weren't looking for tactical misrepresentation. IIRC, after some initial troubles the Germans killed lots of the GIs with a 20mm as they were playing on the Tiger and were mopping up the rest. Their only saving grace was the sudden appearance of the P-51s - which while Hollywood hokey, was pretty representative of the combat during Normandy too.

Ed Harris was great in that movie. Something like "old Prussian aristocrat" feeling. There are a lot mistakes, but I don't see it as a problem, it's not a documentary.

Good Russian WW2 film is "Bitva za Moskvu" (Battle for Moscow). It a relatively old film, but it is surprisingly accurate, for a non-documentary, although German strength is exaggerated. Depiction of the equipment pretty accurate although there were stuff out of place. What's more, they really took special care to find actors with physical likeness to historical persons, and not just only for Stalin and Hitler, but even for Zhukov, Konev, Fon Bock, Rokossovsky, Guderian, Kesselring... There are cheesy, Hollywood-like moments of course, but well worth watching, if only for the sheer scale of it. It depicts events from the onset of Barbarossa until counter attack at Moscow and it lasts almost 6 hours...

That's child's play. Old Yugoslavian partisan films show it was possible for a partisan to kill 7-12 Germans with one bullet from his pistol. Now, that's cool!

Anyway, you should really stop looking for mistakes and relax, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy them...

Edit: enjoy films, not mistakes, of course...

Ah Madness. so many of them as well.

Ugghh!! What is wrong with you (1/2)?!? I mean seriously, that film was crap. Perhaps better than some other US films, but their depiction of the tactics used in Stalingrad was so skewed that I found it offensive. I do not even have words to describe that abomination. How the heck did Soviets win the battle with such tactics? They didn't. They did not use human-wave attacks in Stalingrad. There was never anything massed in Stalingrad.

The fighting was between squads, platoons at the extreme most. There never was coordinated efforts of a general advance inside the city itself. Not to mention, the Soviets always took up positions mere meters away from the Nazis so that the German artillery would not shell them, leading to constant fighting and none of the trenches crap they show in the flick.

[||Lz3||]

Humm tough one. I don't really remember.

White & Nerdy!- C'mon this is just perfect.

Anyways that was some time ago

Right now it would be Lament - An FSX film

(If you like planes, I recommend you watch everything that guy, Ramasurinen, uploads, especially the video "Vectors". (yes... this is another link to the vectors video.

And some others if someone is interested. (you wont be disapointed.)

Sorry, I have seen plenty of adult women who could dance just as well/much better than Alizee.

French culture is ok to be sure, but I think there are more low points in it than high points. :P You only need one reason to love French culture though, and that is that musical: Notre Dame de Paris.

My most watched video on YouTube is probably this. Best song in the world IMHO.

[miotas]

Well if we're talkin music videos here then it has to be its a long way to the top(if you wanna rock n roll) by AC/DC

[Puzz3D]

I meant anything in video format. Something that you have control over rather than, for instance, a commercial advertisement on TV. It seems that quite a few people watch comedy, and I can understand that as it lifts your spirits.

I agree and I don't watch the early videos, but she was 19 and married at the time of the concert and it's not nearly as sexually provocative as some of the videos done shortly before this concert tour. The concert performance was intentionally toned down in this regard for children, and ironically this enhances the appeal as far as I'm concerned. The concert video is very well produced in all aspects, and Alizée, having worked continuously since she was 15, is quite accomplished for a 19 year old. However, mismanagement has caused her career to declined since this tour. I mostly watched this concert after the death of my brother, and it helped me to overcome the depression I was feeling at the time.

Perhaps momentarily as one returns to the void from which one came. For my part, I'll see how many times I can experience the celebration of life, which Alizée en Concert expresses so well, before I return to the void.

I know some of the dialogues both in French and English and would lip-sync the movie...
