Commercials I've known and loved

Yesterday a lot of good movies were on, which meant that after dinner, I sat more or less non-stop in front of the tube watching Harry Potter 3 (the best one in the series, book and film), Minority Report, Conan & Conan 2 (Aaaaarnold!) and Once upon a Time in Mexico ("Are you a Mexi-can? or a Mexi-can't?").

Apart from public service TV, if you try watching anything which lasts longer than 15 minutes, you will be exposed to vast quantities of commercials. Most are instantly forgotten once it's over or will cause you to zone out while its airing. However, some commercials are really good - when you're even considering buying Falcon, which tastes like most Swedish beers (i.e. flat pee), you know they're good!

Here's a rundown of my current top TV commercials:
1. Falcon Beer commercial - Russian version
Manly Russian men trying to decide who is the coldest. Add the Kalinka, and you have a future smash hit!

2.Coop Forum - Bäbisar
I'm not that fond of baby commercials in general, but this one is so endearing and cute I just can't help myself. Note: watch until the end, and you will know the true definition of ABA ("art by accident").

3. Peugeot 308 - Winds of Change
Beautifully composed. Even though some of the CGI could have profited from being subtler, it is an interesting thing to see.

4. Falcon Beer commercial - Irish version
Not quite as good as the Russian version but still very funny.

5. SJ - We could be Heroes
A very clever use of David Bowie. This commercials makes me want to listen to my David Bowie albums - AND take a train ride. At the same time. Now.
