Question bout Michael Jackson videos

Ok, I work at the movie theatre now and we are showing MJ's movie. Anyway, after running the projection booth today, I caught bits of pieces of it while I was starting films on nearby projectors. Well, after hearing brief snippets of songs that I haven't listened to in I dunno how many years, I went back to watch a few of them on Youtube. I noticed something in the Black or White video that I hadn't when I watched it back in 91. Is that John Landis (who worked on Blues Brothers with Dan and director of Thriller) at the end saying “Cut! That was great”?

But as for a second question, since I'm sure most of everyone's fav MJ video was/is Thriller (still a classic as far as Im concerned) what is the next best vid he did? Even with all the wacked out sh*t that MJ had going on around him for the last 20 years, his music (or some of it anyway) really is great. For a long time, the only song of his I had was Bad which incidently was the Ghostbusters remix of it.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't care for him personally, I wasn't gloating when he died, crazy shit or not. His music was still pretty extraordinary though.

Yes, he directed “Black Or White”, too. But if it ends there it's not the full version.

Probably “Smooth Criminal”.

Agreed with Andreas, Smooth Criminal is my all-time favorite MJ song and music video (the following is the best version of the video, rather than the one which includes a few more clips of the film which have been sped up):

Yeah, “Smooth Criminal” is one of my favorites by Michael Jackson. There is also a Ghostbusters version of Smooth Criminal. It's amazing how well “Bad” and “Smooth Criminal” can blend in with the Ghostbusters theme. Though I sure wish there was a Ghostbusters version of “Thriller”.
