Friday Legend: Spike Jonze.

He’s a writer, a skateboarder, an actor, a music video director, the producer and co-creator of Jackass, the director of VBS.tv, a photographer, the director of three Hollywood movies and has a plethora of alter egos including Richard Koufey of the Torrance Community Dance Troupe, who shows up in the music video Rockafeller Skank he directed for Fatboy Slim.

Spike Jonze’s music videography is enormous ranging from work with Weezer, Elastica and Dinosaur Jnr to the Beastie Boys, Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers and now he’s added Arcade Fire to that ever increasing list producing a bitter sweet video for their single The Suburbs, which you can watch above. It’s a large bag of everything, but mainly it’s about the innocence of youth and how it vanishes all too quickly.

So to mark this latest addition to his CV we’ve rounded up ten glorious examples of Spike Jonze’s work, (in no discernible order), as a tribute to one of the most imaginative directors of a generation. If you don’t find at least one of these videos entertaining then book an appointment with your doctor immediately.
