THE LIST
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-2003)
Sure, there were a lot of CGI effects in this film series, but you'd be surprised how many camera tricks helped the production along.
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
The man-to-wolf transformation involved makeup effects truly unprescedented scale.
The Thing (1982)
The sheer volume and quality of creature work here will blow your mind, and give you nightmares
The Ten Commandments (1956)
The parting of the Red Sea involved thousands of gallons of water, rather than thousands of gigabytes of data, and is all the more impressive for it.
Star Wars: A New Hope (1977)
The artists at Industrial Light and Magic made the Star Destroyers, Millennium Falcon, and every creature in that movie come to life for a generation of fans.
Jason and the Argonauts (1963)
The skeleton fight took several months for Ray Harryhausen to complete
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
The trippy stargate effect was accomplished completely in-camera.
Royal Wedding (1951)
It still boggles the mind how they pulled off this Fred Asaire dance number
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
There were plenty of digital effects available to Christopher Nolan to create the plane heist in this movie. But nope, all practical
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
There was a lot visually impressive in this movie, but we were blown away by a subtle little practical effect.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
