LAP will top that.

i pretty much hate anytime any singer or actress recreates a Marilyn look/scene/photo, that video being the only exception

too obscure?

I don't really like Justify the song, but I adore the video.

"justify my love" completely blew my mind as a kid

it would make my ballot alone just for how visceral that first time viewing was

I can't believe there's not a gif of Garth dancing with the bulge in the Wayne's World dream sequence with Madonna.

Justify amomg my least favorite singles.

lmao

hahaha

whut

apologies if i made anyone horny baby

i predict "Open Your Heart" and hmmm "Bedtime Story"?

"Hung Up"? "Lucky Star"?

"Frozen"? "Cherish"?

ilm loves human nature i think

man i'm not even a fincher stan but lmao if ilm gives the nod to guy ritchie over him. totally cool w/ mary lambert taking this though.

Like a Prayer makes even less sense narratively/thematically to me now than it did when I was 15. A bunch of cool scenes, but WTH.

really? her black boyfriend, accused of crime by white racists, inspires a series of lusty dreams in which she necks with St. Martin de Porres and condescendingly grabs a black choirboy's chubby cheeks (the most horrible acting of her career in that moment).

No idea what the Deeper & Deeper video is like, but the track merits some full on Citizen Kane treatment, so I'll assume she did that and that's our winner.

Oh oh oh, we can't forget Danny Aiello!!!

o wait didn't see 'like a prayer' already placed. huh i guess 'open your heart' is gonna win. 13 yr old me was right after all, it is the best video ever.

'oh father' video is pretty straight forward citizen kane vamp at points.

bummer that "Smack My Bitch Up Part 2: Now Bitch Smacks You Up" did so well

all i remember from the deeper & deeper video is debi mazar peeling a banana

I was looking at her videography and trying to figure out how James Foley directed a few videos, then realized he did "At Close Range" during the Penn era...

(Oh, and he directed "Who's That Girl?" And from there on to Glengarry, etc.)

awesome, awesome video

always suspected the boy character in "Open Your Heart" is just realizing his sexuality.

that's what makes the kiss so sisterly.

"daddy how come you don't have any pictures of black men on the wall?"
