DAMN. These are great pieces. Who is this editor and why isn't s/he making a living putting together Oscar montage packages?
dang, that made me feel old...didn't realize it'd been so long since some of those movies came out
Alot of movies in this Decade to remember from, though he missed a couple of key ones...I think he played to the mood and it came out incredible as the other one's did.
Good Stuff.
Total class. Most excellent blast from the past.
Thank you for helping me to laugh out loud on a wet grey day in the UK!
These should really be called "The ACTORS of..." whatever decade, because it's mostly just mediums and close-ups of famous stars from each era. And the music choices are not optimal. I ended up "rescoring" them with selections from ITunes...(but I do that with everything, so it's nothing personal.)
I found the main theme from "Pat Garret And Billy The Kid" works magically with the 70s montage, and "Conspirators" from JFK fits great with the 90s clip.
And aside from those two bits of contrariness, I'm really enjoying these. Hoping to see the 50s and the 80s next. Include some effects shots! (the Alien Queen, ect)
Thelma & Louise, True Lies, Scream, Mrs. Doubtfire, Toy Story, Lion King, Speed, Misery, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Out of Sight, The Sixth Sense, The Matrix ...
I would have liked it more had it included those titles rather than endless Kevin Spacey clips. I left this comment on his YouTube page a few days ago too.
Wonder when his Films of the '80s will be up.
There should be a shot of Jodie Foster in every decade: 70's, 80's, 90's, and 00's. She's an actress for all seasons.
