If we’re gonna have a worst ads thread, we’ve got to have a best ads thread too…

My favourite of recent years:

Loved the old Guiness ad with the horses on the waves. Also loved The Guardian ad where the guy was running up the road and you thought he was attacking someone but he was in fact saving him from being squidged.

Here ya go, Sadoldgit! From my favourite commercial director of all time, the great Jonathan Glazer…

And because I’m an Ad nerd, here’s your other one. Obviously made an impression if you remember it was for The Guardian. :wink:

My favourite ad of all time (for purely cinematic reasons, don’t know how much it has to do with jeans…) is this Levis spot by the mighty Jonathan Glazer. It was actually hard to find it with this original music, as they only had the rights for a short period of time.

I have his ‘Director’s Label’ DVD with his various Commercials and Music Videos and this ad has a completely different (and less effective) score.

Gave me chills at the time, still does. The motion, the music… pure filmaking porn in 60 seconds.
