Movie Tributes on “The Simpsons”

Simpsons Movie Montage

Celia Gómez recently put together a video supercut that compiles many of the movie tributes that have appeared on The Simpsons. The tributes include Mr. Burns as the title character out of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) and Bart Simpsons as Indiana Jones from Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).

Although most of the tributes are ones most people would catch, some of the best references are ones you may have missed while watching The Simpsons. The cuts showing both the movie scenes and the scenes from The Simpsons highlights the animators’ attention to detail. Check it out.

The music accompanying the video is “Sing Sing Sing With a Swing” by the Benny Goodman Orchestra.

    I enjoy anticipating upcoming films. For those of you who are like me, Hayden Vartiainen put together this montage of scenes from some of the big blockbuster films that will be released in 2014. Featured films include 22 Jump Street, 300: Rise of an Empire, Noah, Transcendence, and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Near the end, the video shows the title cards for the featured movies.

    The music in the movie supercut is John Murphy‘s “Surface of the Sun” from the soundtrack for the movie Sunshine (2007).

    Montage of Movie Final Scenes

    In this short video, The Last Thing You See: A Final Shot Montage, Zach Prewitt has created a montage of final movie scenes. The video connects final shots by theme, creating a seamless video of wonderful moments in what Prewitt calls, “A meditation on the beautiful, cathartic, and transcendent power of the final shot.”

    The collection is divided into eight parts: Awakening/Creation, The Natural World, Youth, Love, The Journey, Triumph, Celebration, and Transcendence. It opens with scenes from The Tree of Life (2011) and Vanilla Sky (2001) and ends with scenes from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and The Last Temptation of Christ (1988). Check it out.

    The music for the montage is “Gathering Storm” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. For a complete list of movies, check out YouTube.
