Ok folks here is the idea:
There is this Steven Jay list of 1001 movies you must see before you die ( http://www.listsofbests.com/list/1081 )and though I don't totally agree with the choices (no Ed Wood, No Barbarella, No Duel), it brought some forgotten gems to my attention so that I'm currently working my way through the list (I'm nearly halfway there). Along the way I had unwittingly done a few videos using footage from various films on said list and I thought it would be a really good thing to eventually have 1001 videos that will cover all of Steven Jay's picks individually. For that, of course, I need your help. So what I want you to do is: Get the list, choose your favourites and create a video that is based on only one movie at a time. It doesn't has to be the rather easy music clip thing that I do. Whatever takes your fancy really. Then join http://www.youtube.com/group/1001movies and submit your video. But please be creative and don't just add the official trailer.

lm Noir classic Gilda from 1946. Though Rita Hayworth made the song popular, it isn't her voice that you hear in the film, but that of Anita Ellis. So I guess its ok, to dub it again, now with the voice of China Frobes, if I'm not mistaken. If you enjoyed this video and feel halfway rock'n'rollesqu
