Hunger
Directed by Steve McQueen
2008
Very solid debut from Steve McQueen (not that Steve McQueen) plus establishes both him and Michael Fassbender (“Don’t mind if I go out speaking the Kings”, Inglourious Basterds) as some new talent to definitely keep an eye out for.
Sidenote: Fassbender I’ma let you finish, but Christian Bale had one of the best method starving performances of all times!

Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue
1981
After watching this video I’m pretty convinced Daft Punk saw this and was like, “Whoa electronic robot voices, new wave dance, two guys wearing leather suits and helmets…hmmmm…wait, let’s drop the reggae bit though”. Although I DO wish Daft Punk would do an electronic reggae album.
Eddy Grant - Romancing The Stone
1984
This isn’t really ska or reggae, but Eddy Grant was probably one of the most underrated ska/reggae dudes in the game. Plus this video is GREAT. Fast forward to the 1:35 mark after Michael Douglas throw a briefcase which does not amuse Eddy, to see a jump cut to a machete in the air which turns into a guitar ala Kubrick 2001 style. Which then Eddy proceeds to shred out on top of this mountain while the camera flies over him capturing him in all his glory. Amazing.

I really wish these guys were a lot bigger than they were. They pioneered the whole mixed-race garage/ska style waaay before The Specials. Combined with the Jagger-esque swagger of the lead singer and Eddy Grant’s songwriting and guitar these guys could/should have been huge. Oh well, thanks YouTube.
