the reason.

Photosynthesis is brilliant with the custom soundtrack

My personal fav is the team montage from this. 3:40

See this is I don’t get, is it personal preference or the actual skating or the part as a whole?
That rubber boys section for me is the greatest thing ever made, first section of the first video I ever saw and it is burned in my brain for all time.
That’s clearly not going to be the same for everyone.

I’m the same with Powell Propaganda, while it might not be the most culturally significant, it’s massive for me.

Could a montage even be considered a classic anymore? For me, montages got burned into my brain because of repeated viewings of the entirety of a video. Today, everything’s mainly just one watch and done. If I do go back to an online video, I doubt a montage would spring to mind. I’m sure there are some good ones from online videos (like Wayout’s example) that I’ve just completely forgotten about.

Also, what’s been the best British montage?
Octagon wheels section in WTFTW? Or the Organic section in First Broadcast (probably the closest British counterpart to the Habitat section in Photosynthesis)?

There’s a good one in Misled Youth.

Deffo vying for the crown, although I’d plump for Playing Fields.

Edit. that’s a ā€˜friends’ section though. Should that be exempt from the montage category?

Friends section is definitely under the montage category, quite a few of those in the ā€˜Greatest Montage of All Time’ are basically friends sections.

This is the correct answer.

It’s one of the best, but not a uk vid. Therefore its banned.

Hmm in which case the Octagon section in First Broadcast also gets my vote.

Would the lost and found credits class as a montage? As that was banging.
