I haven't voted in a while, and I won't be voting today as the thread has clearly reached the end of it's useful (and very worthwhile) life.
For what it's worth, I'd have voted for Cloubusting - that most wonderful mini film video - and docked a point for TSW..
Why don't we just declare a top 3 based on current rankings. Then people can make a series of comments based on their thoughts about the ultimate decision? Then we can stop going around in circles..

I think we should just keep playing- it's nearly finished. Or at least have a poll...

I agree, we need some sort of finish here. So my ranking is: Cloudbusting The Sensual World Running Up That Hill And, to save time and not be redundant, I site the previous as my reasons for Cloudbusting as well, along with Donald Sutherland's appearance and the design of the machine. The Sensual World is just that and exquisite, but a little slow. And RUTH, mainly disappointed in that I was expecting something really cinematic, but it is still wonderful. I would have chosen other videos for my top 3... including Hounds Of Love, which probably would have been #2, and The Big Sky as #3. James, why don't you calculate the ranks of all the videos and post them. Then we can all personally rank them and see how we measure up.

OK you guys, play it out if that's what you want to do. But in line with my previous post, I'll just throw in my comment and ranking (based on this top 3 at least) here..
Tough call between Cloudbusting and RUTH, but I'd have ranked Cloudbusting at no 1, leaving RUTH at no 2. Process of elimination puts TSW at no 3..
Cloudbusting is a brilliant piece of work - high budget, high production values and the marvellous Donald Sutherland cameo role (love that bit where he tips the Government Agent's hat off his head..). Inevitably, the quality of his acting performance leaves Kate's efforts a little exposed, but playing a young boy was brave undertaking that very nearly hits the mark. What chance a re-make with Bertie in the role? Bravo to all concerned.
I adore the RUTH video. Kate's choice to illustrate the essential elements of conflict, compromise and ultimately, co-operation between the sexes in the abstract form of dance, was inspired as far as I'm concerned. Much of the interaction between a man and a woman is unspoken - fitting then that she lets the dancers skilled movements speak the words..
The Sensual World video is beautiful to look at - and is as sensual as the title itself. A worthy 3rd place in my books, though it seems that this is the favourite of the members of the Forum.
Thanks to James for the game idea, and for giving us the chance to explore some of these epic video films (and our perception of them) in more detail.
Now then Kate, you've seen how much we love them. Can we PLEASE have them out on DVD?
