This is one of my all time favorites:

Things to Come is a 1936 British science fiction film, produced by Alexander Korda and directed by William Cameron Menzies. The screenplay was written by H. G. Wells and is a loose adaptation of his own 1933 novel The Shape of Things to Come and his 1931 non-fiction work, The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind. The film stars Raymond Massey.

Christopher Frayling of the British Film Institute calls Things to Come "a landmark in cinematic design."

[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Things to Come sets out a future history for the century following 1936.

The film begins in the fictional English town of 'Everytown' in 1940, as a global world war breaks out. The war lasts for decades, long enough for the remaining survivors to have forgotten the reasons for it in the first place. Strategic bombing is so successful that civilisation on both sides is totally devastated. Humanity falls into a new Dark Age where the technology level is reduced to that of medieval times, symbolised by an automobile being drawn like a cart by a horse. There is even a medieval-type plague sweeping through the land, known as "the wandering sickness."

In 1970, Everytown is run by a local warlord called Rudolf, a.k.a 'The Boss' or 'The Chief' (played by Ralph Richardson), who is at constant war with the "Hill People" and obsessed with fixing up the old remaining biplanes and capturing coal mines in order to convert the coal to fuel for the aircraft. The Chief consolidated his power over Everytown after having eradicated "the wandering sickness" by shooting all those infected with the disease.

One day, a futuristic aeroplane lands outside the town. The Chief and the townspeople are incredulous when the pilot John Cabal (played by Raymond Massey) proclaims that the last surviving band of scientists have formed a society known as 'Wings Over the World'. They are building a civilisation, based in Basra, Iraq, that has renounced war and has outlawed independent nation-states. The Chief resists by making the pilot his prisoner, but the Chief's mechanic (whom he was using to fix up old biplanes from the war) escapes to Basra in a plane he was testing, and alerts Cabal's scientist friends regarding his capture.

Yes that is rather beautiful. The poor Kiwi achieved its life dream knowing it would have to expend its life to do so. I think the creator would deserve a first for their masters.

I didn't see this one posted yet. It's a series of Japanese commercials (?) known as the "Incredible Machine." Can someone translate the jingle they sing over and over? My kids are singing it all day. (Maybe it just says "The incredible machine.")

I thought you were joking, but you're right.
Pitagora Suichi is a children's educational show in Japan.

I just found this guy on youtube and I can't stop watching him. He has a fantastic array of styles with the acoustic guitar.

Andy McKee - Rylynn:

Andy McKee - Africa cover:

Andy McKee - Drifting:

And there are many more on youtube but those are my faves.

You'd probably like Adrian Legg, too Kurdt, but it appears his record company has made youtube pull all the clips, but one - the intro to a song played with no fingering at all. Just fingerpicking and adjusting the string tensions with tuners. He is incredible on acoustic guitar and gives clinics for Ovatation/Adamas.

Hey thanks Turbo. I guess you've noticed my penchant for people with different playing styles. That certainly does look impressive and its a shame that his videos have been pulled. Youtube is such a great resource for getting people recognised and for promoting their skills. It was through youtube that Andy Mckee came to a larger audience and became famous and of course the same with JerryC. With big television networks now posting their own stuff on there and the inclusion of the BBC recently I would hope that his record company reverses their decision.

I'm a big fan of Yann Tiersen's compositions and try my best to learn the different pieces on the piano. For fun I sometimes look on YouTube how other people are playing, most are absolutely terrible..

I just ran into the following video of La Valse d'Amelie piano and it is so perfect that I was really moved by it, just by the shear beauty of the song:

I love the passion that is put into it, watch this other composition:

(I say: "undiscovered artist", but not for long probably)
