What is your favorite AMV?

I wish I had the time, talent, equipment and patience to make AMVs, but alas no such luck. I did enjoy these.

For comedy I'd go with
The Harassment of Kyon

or
Spectacular Anime
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QAV7M_QuJI

For Story
Center of the Sun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qf-aAVxE8s
or
Mitternacht
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVJjPHZ4gd0

There are a slew of others I like: Silent Lucidity (CCS), Tainted Donuts, Euphoria, 'Bustin, I am NOT gay!, True Faith (Pokemon), Souls of Rage and Sorrows (Escaflowe Movie), etc., etc., etc.

I know that the majority of the AMVs I've listed were shown at AX but in all my searching they are the best I could find.

I second that Kestrel video, Aethel. It is definitely one of my favorites & one that I thought of immediately when I saw this thread!

Speaking of favorite videos, I would recommend everything by Kestrel. However, if I had to pick, I would suggest her Nanami one, & The Promise (aside from the "Bury My Lovely" video).

A couple of videos that I remember loving:

Sailor Moon: *Sailor Saturn - (Phil Collins - "In the Air Tonight") This is a really old one, but I still love it.

Utena: *Juri - (Erasure - "A Little Respect") I still can't hear this song without seeing this video in my head.

Also, has anyone ever checked out Anime Hell? I was recently introduced to it & I thought it was hilarious! If you haven't seen it, check out one of the 2 & 1/2 minute ones & see what you think. I enjoyed all of the 60 min one!

Thanks for all the suggestions - these are all great!

I'll try to find links later, but I guess my favorite is the Speed Racer video set to the song "The Distance" by Cake. I think the same person may have also done the Refreshments "Banditos" Lupin III Castle Caglisotro video that I love. I also like the really, REALLY old "Hair" video - a bunch of anime scenes set to the song Hair from the musical, probably the first AMV I remember seeing.

I've always loved AMV's because they really can showcase an editor's passion for the genre, sometimes resulting in a true work of art.
There are many "top-shelf" examples I've collected over the years and still watch quite often, but there's only one that I've ever posted*.
I put it up a little over three years ago, and I gotta admit that it still haunts me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHil2SAjlq4
