I am always interested when people put together compilation videos featuring the favorite moments from the films they have seen. You always get some common ones, but I am always intrigued by the odd ball picks and scenes that people choose for their video. Enter Zade Constantine, who puts together a hell of a 12 minute compilation that goes all the way back to 1920... wow, she took it WAAAAAAYYYYY Back! Great music, great cuts, and great movies. That's everything you could ever want in one of these videos. Take some time and check it out!!!
