- DirectorChris CunninghamStarsAphex TwinMarcus MorrisGary CruzTwo stereotypical gangster wannabes try to get lucky with two young women when the man himself, Aphex Twin, interrupts their crude discussion to show off his dancing skills. The women are entranced (as shown since their faces have become similar to Richard's) and follow him in his limousine to the beach. The two men watch as Aphex performs a huge dance (involving champagne and a very messed up female version of Richard) in front of them.My favourite music video of all time by Chris Cunningham

- DirectorBaillie WalshStarsRobert Del NajaGrant MarshallMassive AttackThe video begins with a shot of a street gang before moving to follow Nelson walking along the pavement unaware or uncaring of her surroundings, which include drunks, bikers, and disabled people. As the video progresses, first 3D (having finished making a call on a public phone booth) and then Daddy G (pushing a cart) can be seen walking several paces behind her, slightly out of focus. At the end of the video, Nelson walks past the camera and off down the road into the distance.

- DirectorRob LeggattLeigh MarlingStarsSteve EliasThe video follows the story of two miners in a black-and-white world who find a passage into a dance studio situated in a colour world. The majority of the video consists of the miners dancing with two ballerinas, ending with one of the miners fading back into black-and-white. The video transforms the disparate and the out-of-place into something new and joyful, and it does that with the right blend of heart and surrealism.
- DirectorGarth JenningsStarsDamon AlbarnBlurPeter BurroughsA sentient milk carton searches for a missing person whose face appears on its side.
- DirectorJonathan GlazerStarsRichard FileCraig KellyDenis LavantA man wearing a heavy parka is walking along the middle of the road in a busy car tunnel. He appears to be disoriented, mumbling and shouting incoherences, only occasionally including intelligible words such as "Cristo", "Allahu Akbar", and "sinner!" Some of the cars honk at him and swerve out of his way. All of a sudden a car hits him from the side, and he is left on the ground. The car continues its course without stopping or slowing down. After a while, the man stands up and starts walking again as if nothing had happened. Then another car hits him; this time the hit occurs straight on and sends him flying a couple of feet. A passing motorist watches with contempt as the man rolls in the street. The man gets up again. A car swerves by and slows down alongside the man, occupied by three young men. The driver repeatedly inquires as to the man's destination, who for his part seems oblivious to their presence and continues along his way blurting, "Saint Christopher"; the driver soon tires of this and speeds off whilst calling out, "Nice coat, man!" Another car hits the man, and he gets up almost instantly. More accidents occur, some cars honk, some cars swerve out of the way -- but none stop. The man removes his parka and throws it on the ground. He is shirtless underneath, and we see his chest covered with bruises and cuts. He smiles and opens his arms in a crucifix-like position. A Vauxhall Cavalier MK2 is coming his way and has no intention of stopping. The car hits the man, but this time he stands unmoved, and the car is destroyed upon impact.

- DirectorChris CunninghamStarsKaren AndersonAphex TwinNikki BondThe video opens with an old woman walking a dog in a grimy, industrial setting. The dog urinates on an abandoned television lying on the pavement, causing it to sputter unexpectedly into life, and a distorted and warping headshot of Richard D. James chants the lyrics. This unleashes a spirit, accompanied by a gang of small children, all of whom bear James' grinning face and who appear to inhabit the abandoned buildings. The children go around wreaking havoc, trashing an alley and chasing a man into his car. The thin man emerges from the television, screams in the woman's face, then gathers the children around him.
- DirectorMichel GondryStarsThe White StripesThe music video is a Lego animation directed by Michel Gondry. Gondry's son was featured at the beginning of the video, building Lego blocks. It was shot frame by frame with each frame having the Lego bricks rebuilt, sometimes in a complex manner to seem as if it were an actual shot, and then formed together to give the illusion of motion. The video mostly consists of red, white, and black color. The White Stripes couldn't strike a deal with Lego, so they had to buy a large amount of Lego boxes for the video.
