BMW Shortfilm - Beat the Devil
Posted by: breadbaker
Video duration: 584 seconds
One of my favorite out of the BMW shorts series.
This one is from the 2nd season directed by Tony Scot featuring James Brown and Gary Oldman (as the "Devil") and of course Clive Owen as the restless driver.
Very nice story on "cheating" on a deal with the devil.

Nadia Comaneci 1976
Posted by: breadbaker
Video duration: 65 seconds
Nadia's performance on the uneven bars at the olympic games 1976 in Montreal.
It earned her the first perfect 10 in the olympic gymnast history.
If you look close you'll se that even the scoreboard wasn't prepared to show.
It was by the way the first* of seven perfect 10s she showed at this games.
*I stand corrected that this was actually her fourth 10.0 (thanks thewho76).

HP "Pictures" Commercial - Cure
Posted by: breadbaker
Video duration: 32 seconds
Finally HP managed to get a decent song to be featured in on of their ads: the "Pictures - You!" campaign in 2004.
It's the catchy song "Pictures of You" from "The Cure" that was featured on their 1989 album "Disintegration" and that received a late comeback with this ad.
(Sorry for the quality - hard to find!)
