Who doesn't get 'It's A Hard Life' video, doesn't get Freddie's artistic genius.

Scandal...boring from the beginning to the end, no imagination at all...a very good song but not reflexed on video

Another vote for the middle bit of Break Free. Freddie indulgence bordering on the tedious. I don't care if you like ballet people. Has nothing to do with this.....

The Miracle. I don't like the kid impersonating Freddie.
The animation in Save Me was something special at the time it was released .
Aha did the same thing in their video of Hunting High and Low. Arms morphing into wings...

I love Queen, and they are my favorite band, but one thing I have to say is horrendously awful about them are some of their music videos.

Body Language is nothing of a reminder of the bath houses Freddie's used to hang around at that time, and quite likely they place where he caught the virus that no longer keeps him with us.

No, I love the Scandal video too! I don't care if it's "not imaginitive," it's really great, with Freddie and Brian's dancing. If you're going to bash a video for being uncreative, why not pick a 70s video, since most of them are literally just the band lip syncing in a dark room.

Scandal is an interesting case. It has got the four of them (Brian and Freddie especially) with a more edgy tone to their attitude. The body language and the outfits keep them in an ensemble of " we are in the same rock group" that it was not always the case during the 80's. Also Scandal as a song is very dramatic and can create a lot of visuals in the imagination. So what you get is waste potential , becouse you had Queen at their best there as far as audio/visual stimulation.Although the video does create an interesting color pallet with reds , blacks and whites and has great camera work , a bit more effort and creativity could have made Scandal, Queen's definitive video of the 80's.
As i am thinking it, if there was some interaction involved between the members or an outside source it would be very fitting becouse the song itshelf has "confrontation" all over.

I've always thought It's a hard life is okay really. All The Works videos were pretty good.
Ones I don't like -
Body language and Back Chat - because they're both crap videos.
The Miracle - for the same reason someone else said here - irritating kid, plus the band had no sparkle whatsoever in that vid, not like they had in Breakthru.
(I've never really liked The Miracle track anyway)
Scandal - Boring video, and they all look fucked off.
Other mentions, that aren't terrible, but I thought were disappointing...
I want it all - I always thought that was a bit dull.
We will rock you - nothing interesting about the video really, especially after you've seen Spread your wings.

We Will Rock You. No one can play guitar with gloves on their hands, not even Dr. May.

Actually Dr. May and John Deacon are both not wearing any gloves. Only Roger and Freddie are.

Ditto IwTBF middle segment. I've found that more embarrassing to watch than the actual FUNNY cross dressing bits. To make matters worse Freddie actually looks graceless like he's struggling to fit in with the bullshit.
That and Hammer to Fall
The cinematography is so murky and ugly it detracts from having a "live" video.
CALLING ALL GIRLS very BLATANTLY references the George Lucas film THX1138 which deals with dehumanization. So in that respect it's thematically PERFECT.
You ought to check out the film. Its far better than any prequel shit
