Bugsy Malone (1976) -- (Movie Clip) Fat Sam's Grand Slam Inside the speak-easy for which the song is named, another tune from Paul Williams’ score with kids in the cast lip-synching to grown-ups’ vocals, with the first glimpse of Jodie Foster as Tallulah, and the first encounter between the title character (Scott Baio) and aspiring singer Blousey (Florence Garland), from Bugsy Malone, 1976, written and directed by Alan Parker.

Bugsy Malone (1976) -- (Movie Clip) Go Feed The Ducks Probably more provocative in retrospect than it seemed at the time, writer-director Alan Parker in his kids-playing-gangsters musical has brassy Tallulah (Jodie Foster), girlfriend of the owner of the night club, apply her charms to the hustler title character (Scott Baio), igniting his potential girlfriend Blousey (Florence Garland), in Bugsy Malone, 1976.

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982) -- (Movie Clip) The Thin Ice First Christine Hargreaves the inattentive mother, then sequences confirming the death of his father at Anzio, the recording of the Roger Waters original song a remix from the 1979 album, Bob Geldof as rock star Pink wierding out in his hotel, in Pink Floyd - The Wall, 1982.

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982) -- (Movie Clip) Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2 Probably the best known sequence from director Alan Parker, seen widely in the MTV movie-promo video, Alex McAvoy as the teacher, Kevin McKeon as student “Pink,” the recording remixed from the hit 1979 single, composed by Roger Waters, from Pink Floyd - The Wall, 1982.

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982) -- (Movie Clip) In The Flesh Pink (Bob Geldof) now in a mental breakdown, completely assuming his neo-Nazi alter ego, with Geldof’s own vocal and a new recording of the song from the original 1979 album, composed by Roger Waters, directed by Alan Parker, in Pink Floyd - The Wall, 1982.

Time Bandits (1981) -- (Movie Clip) Me And My Shadow The time-traveling dwarves (David Rappaport, Kenny Baker, Jack Purvis et al) and Kevin (Craig Warnock) have tumbled to Castiglione, Lombardy, 1796, which nutty Napoleon (Ian Holm) has just conquered, aiming to ingratiate themselves with the Al Jolson tune, in director Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits, 1981.

Time Bandits (1981) -- (Movie Clip) Hate Having To Appear Like That Spoiler but, the evil genius (David Warner) has Kevin (Craig Warnock) and the remaining dwarfs (Jack Purvis, Mike Edmonds, Tiny Ross, Malcolm Dixon, David Rappaport) cornered but the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson, his first proper scene) intervenes, reviving Fidgit (Kenny Baker) and explaining, in Time Bandits, 1981.

Time Bandits (1981) -- (Movie Clip) Big Book Of Greek Heroes From director Terry Gilliam’s credits, we find Kevin (Craig Warnock) with his dull parents (David Baker, Sheila Fearn) at home, unexpected events at bedtime, the cracking start of Time Bandits, 1981, written by Gilliam and Michael Palin, partly scored by co-executive producer George Harrison.
