Festivids recs

I don't know if this is a particularly good Festivids year or if I'm just in a particularly vid-watching mood, but I ended up wanting to rec most of the ones that I opened in tabs in my first exploration of the archive, even the ones for shows/movies I've never seen (of which there are several below). I am looking forward to getting a chance to download a number of these when the anon period is over! In addition to my wonderful gift, I also loved:

Don't Stop Me Now - Blues Brothers
Is this not the perfect song for this movie?? So much fun!

smile (the worst is yet to come) - Dead Like Me
This is just SO pretty and so gorgeously edited, a perfect match for the show's hopeful/bittersweet tone.

All Star - The Good Place
If there is a more perfect Jason song, I can't think what it is.

May the Living be Dead (In Our Wake) - The Princess Bride
Vidding Princess Bride to Flogging Molly = pure brilliance, the perfect match for the movie's medieval-yet-irreverent tone.

Old Time Rock and Roll - That Thing You Do
I have no clue what this movie even is, but this vid is delightful anyway.

Woo Hoo! - Archer
I can't believe this vidder gave me this much enjoyment from a vid about a show I haven't seen set to a song with no lyrics except "Woo hoo!" The editing on this one is incredible.

Elevation - The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne
The show looks total crazypants and the vid is delightful!

am I only dreaming? - Glow
Gorgeous F/F vid to another show I don't know, but it looks so sweet and pretty!

Doodle Song - George of the Jungle
Silly and wonderful and fun.

I need to see that Archer vid! I love that show. *runs off* Especially while, ahem, Ara is asleep. I'm not even sure Archer is safe for adults; it's hilarious but it's also the filthiest show I've ever watched and that includes actual anime porn.

My husband loves it, but I've never seen more than a few minutes of it! This vid is fantastic fun though. :D

Hee! Well, the vid gives you...a taste. But it's Extra with the dialogue.

I love Archer but Joe noped out of it because it gave him so much embarrassment squick. XD

Anyway, I've watched the vid and left a comment and kudos. Thanks for reccing these!

I figured the vid was well worth reccing if I liked it that much with minimal canon knowledge. :D

I've always kinda meant to watch more of the show, at least enough to figure out if it's too cynical to be My Kinda Thing or if I'd enjoy it anyway. (Graphic sex/violence doesn't bother me, but I noped out of Bojack Horseman because it was just too bleak for me.)

That Princess Bride vid is fantastic. Also loved the Iron Fist and Journey of Natty Gann vids.

I feel like this is really an excellent Festivids year! I've loved almost everything I've watched, whether or not I've seen the canons.

That Thing You Do! It's a movie about a band that has a one-hit wonder song; I haven't seen it since it came out, but every once in a while the song just... pops into my head out of nowhere. I remember it was cute though, if you like movies about bands.

The vid made me want to watch it! Which is part of the charm of events like Festivids. :D

OMG that All Stars/Jason Mendoza vid was absolute perfection!

I've seen several vids to that song, but that one might be the most perfect fit of song to character. :D

I particularly loved The Blues Brothers one as well but Festivids always produces a great crop of videos.

It's such fun! :D I feel as if this year has been particularly tilted towards vids with source/music combinations that get me going.

Aww I wanted to see the Archer (Love that show even though I shouldn't. It's SO wrong) and some of the others but it wants a password.

The password is actually on the vid page I linked to; it's right under the vid!

Well I'm glad I can't see things. Thanks!

And Archer and Princess Bride are both as brilliant as I was hoping for.

I loved these! Especially the Good Place vid - what a perfect song choice for Jason. Thanks for the links!
