Fred Astaire once called this performance “the greatest dance number ever filmed.” Mikhail Baryshnikov said, “Those guys are perfect examples of pure genius.”
Here it is with an extended intro:

A Beatlemaniac goes to great lengths to replicate the poster that inspired John Lennon to write the song ‘Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite’ for the Beatles album ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.’ What’s amazing is the sheer amount of work required to print a poster back in the early 1800s. Talk about dedication!

This swept me over with a wave of nostalgia…as one of those poor kids who was playing early ’80s Commodore 64 games in the early to mid ’90s when all the other kids had Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. What about yourself?

Filmed in Bavaria, Germany. Skiers are towed by cars and motorcycles travelling at great speed. I love the kitschy old-fashioned ’50s style of this video. (Thanks Sean Brogan)

I saw this in a film studies class a few years ago, and stumbled across it on YouTube again today. It’s mostly remarkable because it’s so old. “An essential piece of cinema history, the Lumière brothers’ 50-second film is an unedited shot of a locomotive pulling into a provincial French station. It’s often credited as the first movie exhibited for a paying audience; several spectators reportedly dove for cover, convinced the train would break through the screen. Even at this early date, the impact of cinema was enormous.”
