10 of the Dopest Music Videos Directed by Michel Gondry
I’m a pretty big fan of Michel Gondry. I think he’s a very talented director with an incredibly unique style, and just about everything he does – movies, commercials, and even youtube videos – is worth watching. Like many other film directors, Gondry has directed quite a few music videos and, like the rest of his work, Gondry’s music videos have an unmistakable visual style that help enhance the song while engaging the viewer. Some of his videos are quite popular, and justifiably so. After the jump, check out 10 of the dopest (yes, I still use the term “dopest”) music videos directed by the very creative Michel Gondry:
The White Stripes – The Hardest Button to Button
Gary Jules – Mad World
Beck – Cellphone’s Dead

Daft Punk – Around the World
The Black Crowes – High Head Blues
Paul McCartney – Dance Tonight

Chemical Brothers – Star Guitar
The Vines – Ride

Wyclef Jean – Another One Bites the Dust
Everlong by Foo Fighters is worth noting too 😉

I was scrolling through the list and going… what… what??? These videos are great! They’re hardly dopey!!!
Oh. Dopest. I didn’t think anybody used that word anymore. 😉
Uh, that wasn’t the video Michel Gondry directed for the Vines song “Ride.”
I believe this was the video you’re looking for:

Trust me, I know. They’re one of my favorite bands. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a video that I could embed. Tragic.
Tokyo! Featuring a segment from Michel Gondry is out on DVD now.
It’s an incredible look at the city of Tokyo from the perspectives
of three visionary directors. Check it out! http://tokyothemovie.com
@ Alex Rudman
Very, very cool. I will have to check that out, not just for Gondry, but for the director of The Host.
what about bjork-joga and the white stripes-fell in love with a girl, these should have been numbers 1 and 2.
and while its not a music video persay i think jim carrey in pecan pie is worth noting
@ eric
Absolutely. I could probably come up with another 10 videos if I had to. Gondry’s done a lot.
Most of these videos are on his new DVD compilation.
Check it out. http://www.michelgondry.com
