I see your point, but I still don't think the finale is a good way to introduce someone to this film.

In my opinion, you're missing the point and, no offense, are being a bit elitist. Agreed- this film and other masterpieces of cinema should be seen on the silver screen, but like a lot of great art in an era of the mass consumption of populist media, it helps to have a gentle introduction by others who know better. Not everyone can attend film school, just like not everyone can afford to travel to Paris to visit the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa in person. I've been introduced to more than a few great and sometimes obscure films this way.

I downvoted because this is a cinematic masterpiece and should never be presented as a Youtube clip. It offends me as a true lover of film. It's like looking at the Mona Lisa through a keyhole. I downvoted the last time someone else submitted it as well. I hadn't noticed your downvote, but thanks for caring so much.

As for budzos' comment about downvoting this as you should only see it on the Silver Screen. In my opinion, you're missing the point and, no offense, are being a bit elitist.

I'm afraid I do not.

Saw that movie when it came out. It was disappointing. Incredibly cool and creative idea, but not well delivered... I mean, a hammerhead shark is the "scary" killer in the film. I'll upvote because it's so unique, but wow, bad movie and I was SO excited to see it. It killed me that it was so badly made. VERY VERY low budget, low resolution CG. If you want this sort of thing, but good, see Mirrormask. Though I'll again give you that it was profoundly creative. I'd love to see more of this sort of wild stuff coming out of the film industry. So props for a great idea, but downs for poor delivery. Heck, the "gods" in this film are slow and boring. It's video-game quality CG... just not good enough for the silver screen imo. Anyway, this makes me want to watch it again. Good sift.

Awesome video! The song is Starkillers - Scream

Can you make me feel like a star?
Can you make me shake and scream?
Can you make me beg now baby
Can I leave you loving me?

Can you make me loose my mind?
Can you tease me?
Can you make me wanna dream?
Can you please me?
If we did it on a magazine,
If we did it on a silver screen,
If we did it on the bathroom floor,
Would you girlfriend call me a whore?

thx for the votes, glad to finally be with the VS!

..fun new collective, Pigeon. Thanks for the invitation. When one hears the term "cinema" how many out there think silver screen first? Nowdays it's "movies"

From YouTube:

The setting is the mean street of San Francisco...superstar Steve McQueen has just started filming what would become a cinematic classic, "Bullitt" "The Making of Bullitt" is a behind the scenes look at the filming Steve McQueen's 1968 ground breaking detective drama "Bullitt," also starring Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Vaughn. "The Making of Bullitt" transports the viewer onto the set of one of the most exciting films ever made as you get a behind the scenes look at the preparations and filming of what many consider the finest and most hair-raising car chase scene in movie history. Shot entirely on location, this program gives you an inside look at not only the technical aspects of filming a complex scene on city streets, but also a better understanding of the mindset of its star, the legendary Steve McQueen. "The Making of Bullitt" is a fascinating look at the intricacies of film-making and of the inner drive that made Steve McQueen an enduring giant of the silver screen. Includes original theatrical trailer and "Hollywood Hot Wheels."

Wonderful. You know there was a memorial tribute to her last week on AMC or TCM (?) I remember first noticing her in The Greatest Show on Earth with Charlton Heston (of course ) She was adorable w/ that old school silver screen style of acting.

Using a dramatic combination of music, water and light, the Bellagio delivers spectacular performances with its majestic fountains.

Every evening, time briefly seems to stop in front of the Bellagio. Running every 15 minutes or every half-hour, depending on the time of year, the animated fountains are impossible to simply walk past. Cleverly orchestrated to a variety of songs -- from "One, Singular Sensation," featured on Broadway, to "Fly Me To The Moon," written by Bart Howard and made famous by Frank Sinatra -- the fountains appear to come to life with every note.

Spanning across the quarter-mile-long lake in front of the Bellagio, the free show generally lasts between five and 10 minutes. However, performances are hindered by inclement weather.

The fountains were created by WET Design, a Southern California firm responsible for other well-known displays of water and light, including the LeapFrog Fountain at Disney World's EPCOT, the Sky Rockets at Chicago's Navy Pier and the Universal CityWalk Fountain.

The $40 million Bellagio fountain show is equipped with 1,200 nozzles and 4,500 lights, making it the most expensive and ambitious water feature the company ever has done.

The Bellagio fountains have been made famous through appearances on the silver screen. The fountains were most notably highlighted in the remake of "Ocean's Eleven," starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.

To complement the fountain design, provided by WET Design's Claire Kahn, the Bellagio brought in outside professionals to develop the show, including composer/conductor Gerard Schurmann ("Lawrence of Arabia") and choreographer Kenny Ortega ("Dirty Dancing").

The range of movement across the lake is varied; some of the movement is continuous, responding to the smooth passages of music, while other water jets are rapidly pulsing, reaching heights as high as 240 feet.

With a wide array of musical selections and choreography, you could easily sit in front of the fountains all night and never see the same performance twice. Even those in passing cars on the Strip feel compelled to pull to the side and take in the show.

That's too bad, Ant. Have you ever seen any James Stewart flicks? I've been DYING to sift this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWyEc7FAMTg
But the embed is disabled and I haven't found another complete clip of this scene.

It's the ending scene to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It's a great "intro" into silver screen cinema.

Marnie's one of the unsung heros of the silver screen, saving our collective ears from the aural rape, of an otherwise memorable song, delivered by someone who can act, much better than they think they can sing....LLLALLLAALA!

somebody post one of the tunes from "Cry Baby" that would be cooooool!
