Ten Favorite Music Videos Directed by Tim Pope
(Along with Steve Barron and Russell Mulcahy, Tim Pope was responsible for many of the most memorable videos of the early MTV era. Here, in order of preference, are my ten favorites.)
Such a Shame by Talk Talk
Lullaby by The Cure (he directed at least 24 videos for The Cure, but I’m restricting myself to this one)
Magic by The Cars
Cities in Dust by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Life in a Northern Town by The Dream Academy
Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell [warning: NSFW . . . seriously]
Sometimes by James
Is Your Love Strong Enough? by Bryan Ferry, feat. David Gilmour
The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats
Charlton Heston by Stump
