catch also has a great video, the caterpillar is dead funny and so is hot hot hot but they're not included - boohoo

Friday I'm In Love was the first video I saw by them, so it's definitely up there. Hot Hot Hot!!! is just damn funny, especially the extended version. And I've always liked the dark quality of Charlotte Sometimes, even though Robert thinks it was the worst video they ever made.

And many more...

Never Enough
*freaking* cool ...after the lull the dark giant will storm...
The Caterpillar
my first cure video...
The End of the World
lots of reminders to older videos (or maybe it's just my imagination)
The Lovecats
(meeeooooooooww!)
Inbetween days
love the juxtaposition of the eerie fluorescent faces with the 'happy' black-and-white main film... i've been wondering if it could be a way to mirror the double nature of the song, happy music and sad lyrics... :roll:

lullaby - the first video i ever saw... although nowadays it looks amazingly bright and even a bit too sunny at times...?

never enough  

why can't i be you? - wonderful idiotism! still makes me laugh every time i see it  :smt043

inbetween days - never mind the socks, close to perfect!

the end of the world - magical atmosphere, but they sadly lost it immediately with taking off then  :(



(charlotte sometimes:
for me it's the second most embarrassing video they've ever made - the first position in this category goes to
lovesong, clearly...  :oops:  :smt120 )

Close to Me and In Between Days cause these videos are one of the reason of my Cure addiction and i discovered Cure with. and at these time it was really special and cool videos (still are)
The Lovecats
Lullaby
Hot Hot Hot

funny, brilliant, unique.

the worst are the first they made before they meet Tim Pope. Charlotte Sometimes is ... don't know... a joke ??? the worst of the worst: just a big "clich?" like for example "cold and sad video for cold and sad people who listen to cold and sad music" (you have to say it with a dark voice). no ideas and imagination in.

The video for Charlotte Sometimes really freaks me out though with the staring and the girl looks about 20 which is wrong and its just a bit scarey but i love the song.

I love the little dollies/puppet things in Close to Me, i only watched the newer version the other day and it is sooo werid, like an episode of the boosh or somthing but still brilliant.. I thought they might start singing under the sea instead... now that would be good! :smth023

5.Why Can't I Be You/Friday-They're so random.

4.Play For Today-The Cure Look so serious in this one.

3.High-After The First Verse, it does a close up of Simon on Bass, which I think is the best moment. Also, the humor in the second and third verses.

2.Other Voices-They all look so cool in it.

1.InBetween Days-Whenever I watched it, I can't help but to smile. Especially when the sock kicks Smith in the butt. XD

Looking at the costume, it's obvious it was put together last minute.  Very cheap looking.  Just a black bed sheet, and old fuzzy guard hat and a huge piece of cardboard folded and painted to look like a beak.

In my opinion FRIDAY I'M IN LOVEis the greatest video they've ever done. It's just so perfect and fun! And it's nice to see Robert run down the stairs at the start with a big smile on his face which he has for the entire video. Much like Mint Car too. Lullaby and Pictures of You are also favourites of mine.

Quote from: Virpi on March 28, 2008, 20:50:34Never Enough is a nightmare.

...But in a good way, right? I mean, Robert crawling out behind the little stage, and then flashing his chubby lady legs...all lovely moments. Nice setting too.

My all-time favorite must be Lullaby, although In Between Days is pretty close as well: an unbeatable happy-sad vibe in both the video and the song. Brilliant. Lullaby has a great atmosphere in it...Robert in bed wearing jammies, yeees...and oh, he gets eaten by sofa cushions at the end. Just brilliant.

Then there are the vids I enjoy for obvious fangirl reasons: Caterpillar (Rob's eyes and leather pants), Lovecats (Rob's dance), Mint Car (Rob's crazy smile and taking off his jacket) and Catch (Rob being Rob)....Well, what did you expect? I dare you all to judge me!

hey come on, it was a mind-shattering special effect back in '89 - we were all just :shock:!


'charlotte sometimes' is one that i can't bear to watch. i've never understood why people think it's great. i think it's completely outdated and not only that, i bet it looked silly already back then when it was new. :blush:
for instance 'another journey by train' is a lot better video.

Ey, I wasn't dissin' the effect at all, I have the utmost respect for it, it's right up there with the muppet show...:-D Seriously though, I think it's quite good, actually. The way you only see the mouth of the spider swallowing Robert works for me...

I think there's a nice atmospheric 80's feel to Charlotte Sometimes, but no, I wouldn't say I've ever thought it was that good as a whole. It seems to mostly just be her running around in slow motion and Robert looking hard. Perhaps if you've read the book you appreciate it better...? Oh well. It's mostly the song that makes you want to watch it.

Another Journey by train, eh? Didn't know there was a video...I imagine it being quite similar to the video for Jumping someone else's train, which sure gives what it promises... :smth001 Where can I find this vid? Not on youtube or video.google, it seems...

Personally, my fave videos (today) are -
Catch - a beautiful, dreamy song in a gorgeous setting,
Fascination Street - one of my fave songs and there's just "something" about the video I love,
Friday I'm in Love - guaranteed to bring a smile to my face every time I see it (it's on my iPod in case I need cheering up during the day)
Lullaby - a classic video, what more is there to say?
Never Enough - just love it, and
Other Voices - great song, great look....
 
and poe, absolutely NO judgements from me!!   ;)
In fact, the talk of Robert in jammies has got me thinking - from memory he wears striped blue jammies in the Let's Go to Bed and Lullaby videos and the Siouxsie and the Banshees Play at Home video..is it the same set of jammies??  Hmm..me thinks it may be time to do some research....

Ewww...do we really want to know? (and yes, I know he's probably washed them in between vids if it's true...). Well, sounds exciting. We're on to him, I can feel it!

...

Okay, I checked the vids, and don't the Play at home jammies look...bluer than the ones in Let's Go To Bed? Probably just the lighting though.

(Rob's jammies in quite high resolution)

I think the case is settled: they're most likely the same jammies. Perhaps not the exact same ones, just the same design...Case closed. 8)

Hmmm,  no one picks pictures of you.

I love the playfulness and the odd setting -  so much trouble to go through,  and then plastic trees or something.  It was a surprising video,  that doesn't really match the song lyrics at all!

I think for sheer brilliance,  it's close to me,  especially when you look at the videos of 1985,  this was really colourful, inventive and dark,  with the claustrophobia etc...  I love that they play a comb!!,  and the lack of panic for such a bad situation

Lullaby is probably the one I watched most  you get a real performance out of Robert.  I like how he is stuck in a web in the wall corner,  just staring kind of angrily - and the clawing hands on Robert's chest is a bit creepy -  of course the effects are cheesy,  but I think this is intentional.  Like the spider's mouth at the end (my wife thinks it looks like something else, ahem).  also the clock ticking in time with Boris' drums!

I had never seen the Wrong Number video until lately - wow,  that was really botched.  I think this is their worst.

I adore the madness of "Never Enough". I also like a lot "Wrong Number" video  because it gets me more into the song.

But I think that the "Just Like Heaven" video is my favourite because this is the ultimate Cure image and the perfect Cure world... Up there, in heaven, above the raging sea, above all, dressed in black, dance with angels...
And then back again

"Close to Me" is their most brilliant video, I think. Really clever and funny. But most of the videos directed by Tim Pope are good, including "Boys Don't Cry", "In Between Days", etc. I also like the "Charlotte Sometimes" and "The Hanging Garden" videos, which are somewhat more amateurish but still manage to convey some of the mystery in those songs...

Well, I'm ashamed but I coudn't watch the Perfect Boy video  :oops: :( Porl is really scary there! :shock:

My favourite videos:
1. Pictures of You - dreamy and funny, I always have this warm feeling in my chest after seeing it...
2. Wrong Number - very scary but in the good way!
3. A Letter to Elise - simple and very sad, makes me cry
4. The Hanging Garden
5. Alt.end

Aw, that can't be. Porl being scary? I can't imagine it.  :)

I do agree with you about Pictures of You... especially the long version. Also...

In Between Days - I love the way Tim Pope used and manipulated the cameras for this one! Such a fun video. :-D

Charlotte Sometimes - It's like a horrible attempt at something poetic and dreamy that comes off as a terrible b-horror film which is why it's brilliant! :smth023

Other Voices - Love the lack of color and camera lens, incredible video!

Catch - Côte d'Azur!

Close to Me - Very innovative... love the little "instruments" everyone uses. Fantastic ending when they finally fall into the ocean.

High - Beautiful colors and light, beautiful Cure members, beautiful song.

Inbetween Days - because Robin said in an interview on 120 Minutes awhile back that he felt it really brought out the image of the Cure.

But I do like doing the "Why Can't I Be You" dance!  I had to rewind or play/search that video tape so many times to get the dance down right.  Ha!

Just Like Heaven & Lullaby get my top votes. Catch is nice, but Lol messes it up with his violin removal, while on Fascination Street I recall Simon proping his hat back on!
Title: Re: Favourite cure videos
Post by: Padme on August 24, 2008, 16:03:19
Yeah, I like Lullaby too.  To me that's another video that shows their image as (well as Fascination Street.) I love the way they all look in Lullaby especially Robert covered up in spider webs.  He looked cool in Never Enough too when they were on the small stage.  That heavy black eyeliner looks great on him.  Catch is very beautiful & scenic.

That is so true. I've always thought of the video and the song as paradoxical, a bit hard to define, both happy and sad at the same time, just like The Cure... The downbeat color scheme together with the tickle-inducing camera movements, the melody that makes you want to skip together with the sad lyrics...really sets the perfect "Cure mood." Know where I can get hold of that interview, perchance?  :D

When 120 Minutes & Post Modern MTV were around, I taped a lot of stuff & they are on VHS.  I definitely NEED to get all these onto a DVD disc.  I even have the Rockumentary they did on the Cure during the Wish era where Perry said "being in the Cure is like being a school gang", Boris saying he never thought the Cure would take off the way it did, Simon saying that before some shows, he would get so nervous that he would have to jump around & Porl saying that "since Teddy's been in the band, the atmosphere has been lighter."  Yes, there is a special of 120 Minutes that Robert hosted & that is where he said that about Inbetween Days.  I also have an interview he did on 120 Minutes & where he talked about Simon getting very ill @ the end of the Wish tour & when he develop pleurisy (when water gets into the lungs...) & Rico Suave from Shelleyan Orphan (I believe?) stepped into to finish the tour w/ the them.  :)

roberto soave (unless it's another one of those nick names...).
he played with shelleyan orphan and presence.

btw the videos with roberto soave on stage always looks weird to me because one is so accustomed in seeing simon there, with all his funny jumps and moves. i've no complaints about soave's playing and i think it was a good decision from the band at that time, not to cancel the tour but keep going. and although looks/appearances shouldn't matter it's always just so interesting to pay attention  what a striking effect the absence of simon has on the cure's "collective stage persona", so to speak. on the visual representation of the band.

true, it's mentioned in the wish tour book. but just looking at the other nicknames in that very same book: did anyone ever really saw simon addressed as "subbie"? or "bub"? or someone talk about perry as "teddy"? :lol:
the tour books are full of all kinds of things.

Yeah, I will admit, I liked the Cure lineup back in the Wish days.  I did always look for Perry when seeing them live but also Simon & Robert.  So if I didn't see Simon there, I would say it's not the Cure. 

Sorry, couldn't remember Roberto Suave's correct name.

No, I can't see Simon as "subbie" or "bub"... I still get confused when I hear someone say Teddy!

i really enjoy all the cure videos that are just crazy and don't make sense at all. like lovecats, caterpillar ( mint car ) and let's go to bed.
pictures of you and just like heaven are very beautiful.
but in the end lullaby is just very atmospheric and somehow different so it's my favorite video. it freaked me out the first time I saw it. I wasn't even used to robert's make-up so i was shocked  :shock:

Hm, I really used to like the Cure's videos back in the late 1980s and early 90s... but it is difficult to name all the faves. I used to watch these compilations w/ the vids put out by the band as soon as I had a VHS video player ("Staring At The Sea" & "Picture Show" & later "Galore")! However since then, my interest in videos has diminished.
Back in the day, I really liked "Inbetween days", "The Caterpillar", "Lullaby", "Never enough" and "Just like heaven" (and yeah, the snowball fight at the tail end of "Pictures of you"!), nowadays still a fave is "Catch" (hence the topic about the single & video elsewhere here).

Btw, welcome to the Forum, Spock93!  :)
