Cha-chá Plays Rumba
The great Esteban Vega Bacallao, otherwise known as Cha-Chá, video posted by Mark Sanders. I logged many a day in that room, but Cha-Chá is younger here than when I first met him in 1996:

Spike Lee's Dolly Shot Montage
I prefer to think of them as "moving sidewalk" shots. The Keital-Bicycle one at 1:18 is probably my favorite, especially in the context of the movie. (Keital, a tough NY detective, is trying to help the kid on the bicycle, who shot a neighborhood thug to death. As Keital suggests a story to commit to testimony that would get the boy off the hook, the imaginary scene plays out with Keital as floating narrator; seriously badass.) Another top clip is the stoned Leguizamo clip from Summer of Sam; the woman in the nightclub scene (from The 25th Hour) is fantastic as well.

Zooey Deschanel's Performance of the National Anthem at the World Series10/23/11
I was traveling and didn't see it live, but I was surprised that certain right-wing pundits were criticizing her performance as being not "triumphant" enough. When there are too many melismas people criticize the anthem, and now this very moving and understated version apparently isn't the musical equivalent of a big foam "We're #1" hand. I think it is nice and really gets to the ethos of the song while putting the emphasis on the anthem's subject matter more than the performer. Link from MLB with an ad up front:
