The Homage: Shoe-horning just about every movie genre in that he can think of, Dan Black’s Symphonies video is a sumptuous, clever homage to the ever-changing face of the movie world. Beautiful. How may film references can you count?
Lyrical Relevance? “Gimme more than the life I see,” croons Black in what could be a tenuous nod to the magical escapism of cinema. Relevance tenuous, though he cleverly turns lyrics into film credits, which is a nice little flourish.

"wish Muse were providing the theme tune for Legacy...." Really?! Who cares. Its gonna be Daft Bloody Punk! I can't wait for the soundtrack... Don't ever mention Lady Gaga on these pages again. She offends me.

I've got to the end and what a poor list. You could have had loads more and missed out on a few beauties... You've missed Blur The Universal and the homage to A Clockwork Orange or you could have picked To The End which is Alain Resnais' Last Year At Marienbad. (I love the Blur) ...and i just assumed that 2Pac and Dr. Dre's was a shoe in. It's got Chris Tucker in.. it's got Mad Max written all over it... the tune is awesome too...No? Can't believe you missed California Love but put in 30 Seconds From Mars!! No Beastie Boys? You put Weezer in and admit its only a TV show, so already contradicting the list, so what about Beastie Boys Sabotage? Starsky and Hutch. Body Movin' has got to be a homage to loads of movies. Even Intergalactic is all about Godzilla.. You could have had De La Souls Oooh which has Wizard Of Oz written all over it, and Lady Sovereign's I got you Dancin' is a direct homage to The Warriors. Nas' Sweet Dreams is almost a copy of Casino and shame on you for forgetting Kylie's Put Yourself in My place... that's Barbarella!! PS. Everybody Hurts is a direct homage to the opening scene in Fellini's 8 1/2. I can't take credit for that one though... I've never seen the film, but my Uncle swears by it. TF should have tried harder. There are loads out there!

You missed the best one ever. Santigold's L.E.S. Artistes is a great homage to Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCeZzW54a2o

Also missed was Faith No More's Last Cup Of Sorrow, wich is a great homage to Hitchcok's Vertigo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itrYbwesN7s
