Something that always makes me super nostalgic is the movie Moonwalker about Michael Jackson:

I was a huge, HUGE, MJ fan as a kid and I remember having a video tape version of this that my parents recorded off of t.v. The special was playing on MTV... it's kind of a fun little time capsule because it recorded all the commercials playing on MTV at the time. I think it released at the same time that they were doing the making the video for Scream, Michael's rockin' song with Janet in the 90's.

Anyway, Moonwalker is just such a treat. It goes through MJ's evolution from a child star to the King of Pop and ends during his Bad era — I think it released in 1988 so at that point it was up to date. But yeah, it's a really creative presentation, they weave together music videos and other content to form something that is super original. Hope y'all enjoy it!
