6. Muse Knights of Cydonia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Yc3HhSl1Q If several different movie genres met up one night, played a few drinking games, then decided to have a massive orgy, this video would be the illegitimate bastard child that would be created as a result. Knights of Cydonia is a bizarre hybridisation of the western, martial arts and sci-fi genre. Despite this it is very well executed music video and could have been directed by Sergio Leone himself. The story follows the plight of the protagonist (the man with no name), as he endeavours to save his maiden from the hands of the villain. Sure, its a simple concept, but the addition of some futuristic robots and a carefully placed unicorn turn it into a twisted kind of poetry.

Anchorman is my favourite film.
