Modest Mouse: Polar Opposites video

Ok folks here is the idea: There is this Steven Jay list of 1001 movies you must see before you die ( http://www.listsofbests.com/list/1081 )and though I don't totally agree with the choices (no Ed Wood, No Barbarella, No Duel), it brought some forgotten gems to my attention so that I'm currently working my way through the list (I'm nearly halfway there). Along the way I had unwittingly done a few videos using footage from various films on said list and I thought it would be a really good thing to eventually have 1001 videos that will cover all of Steven Jay's picks individually. For that, of course, I need your help. So what I want you to do is: Get the list, choose your favourites and create a video that is based on only one movie at a time. It doesn't has to be the rather easy music clip thing that I do. Whatever takes your fancy really. Then join http://www.youtube.com/group/1001movies and submit your video. But please be creative and don't just add the official trailer. This is dedicated to Meike, Mona, Lena and all other heavy duty drinkers who go down to Indie Hell on the weekends. If you're only going to see one film in all your life, let it be Satantango, cause its the best film ever made, and as it lasts for seven and a half hours its quite a deal. Sorry Bela for mutilating your masterpiece, but I'll do anything to spread the word and make people realize what a genius you are. Ohh, and Modest Mouse are also quite good. http://imdb.com/title/tt0111341/ http://www.modestmousemusic.com/
