Inspired by a facebook friend sending me at link to Blur's "To The End" in a response to something I posted about Last Year At Marienbad

A couple others:

Last Year At Marienbad

Doh! Didn't read the little sentence above the clips you posted. Well here it is again!

That's cool. My clip couldn't be embedded.

Do videos referencing German Expressionism require a different thread?

Hahah the "To the End" clip was the first thing I thought of when I read the thread title.

'the universal' too, if 'a clockwork orange' is art-house

Maya Deren "Meshes Of The Afternoon"

I'm lived with the directors of the above video when they were in art school. When I first saw the MGMT "Time to Pretend" video I thought they had done it cos we watched "The Holy Mountain" all the time back in the day and they were into neon surfing imagery. I guess art school trends just tend to go around:

The Cranberries, "Linger" - Alphaville, only slightly less slavishly than the Kelly Osbourne clip above.

Ultravox, "The Thin Wall" - Borrows the arms-through-the-wall image from Repulsion. There are also plenty of film noir and "Casablanca"-type cliches, but probably not lifted from specific movies.

I would argue that R.E.M., "Everybody Hurts" is a rip of Wings of Desire
