What the heck is a SquidVids?
A SquidVids is a new tool from Squidoo to make video showcases for any subject that you like - preferably one that you're truly interested in. The more you like your subject, the better your showcase is going to be. The possibilities are endless: movies, musicals, bands, television shows, sports, home care, decorating, holidays. Here I've compiled all of my showcases to show you what can be done with the format - and how much fun I'm having with it. When You're ready, just go to the SquidVids home page to start your own showcase.

Dead Kennedys Video Showcase
-
When I think of punk bands, one of the first I always think of is The Dead Kennedys. They are irreverent, foul, and really talented and witty. They are offensive and thoughtful. Never heard of them? Well, you can learn about t...
-
Cheap Trick Video Showcase
-
There is just something about Cheap Trick. I can't put my finger on it -- but, I can't be in a bad mood if I'm listening to them. Thankfully I discovered them a really long time ago, and their music is as awesome to me now as it was when...
-
Jimmy Buffett Video Showcase
-
Parrotheads I mean. We are the people that like to have fun, we like to leave the real world behind, sip a frosty beverage in a hammock and listen to good music. One way to do that is to check out some of the great videos here and vote fo...

Jane's Addiction emerged on the Los Angeles music scene during the 1980s with a style influenced by punk, heavy metal, gothic rock, and psychedelic rock styles; singer Perry Farrell once described the band as a cross between Duke Ellington and Bad Br...

Waylon Jennings Video Showcase
-
Although that might be a title of one of his songs - Waylon Jennings never seemed to care to do things the way anyone else did - he had his own path. Waylon Jennings was a force to be reckoned with in country music and one of the (if not the most inf...
-
Kris Kristofferson Video Showcase
-
I love Kris Kristofferson's music - and I have for a long time. Things only got better for me as a fan when he joined a few friends to form the group "The Highwaymen". And, his movies? Well, of course I love them too. But, we're here for his music, s...

The Curse Of The Black Pearl Video Showcase
-
This is the movie that started it all. "Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl" is the first movie in the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy. Hard to believe that it started out as a germ of an idea based on...
-
"Major League" Video Showcase
-
You can tell by the money it's earned and by it's popularity in first the VHS and then the DVD release that it's not just baseball fans in Cleveland that love the movie "Major League". But, we do feel a certain amount of 'ownership' f...
-
The Rocky Horror Picture Show Video Showcase
-
If you've ever seen "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in a theatre with people that know how to watch it, then you know that the line "Castles don't have phones!" isn't spoken in the film - it is shouted out by the audience. A...
-
Caddyshack Video Showcase
-
Caddyshack is quite possibly one of the funniest movies ever made. I have loved it since it first came out to the theatres and bought it as soon as it was available on video tape. In my opinion, Bill Murray steals the show - upstaged only...
-
Pirates Of The Caribbean Dead Man's Chest Video Showcase
-
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is the second movie in the Pirate's Of The Caribbean trilogy. This new adventure finds Captain Jack Sparrow having to face past deals with Davy Jones (yes, that Davy Jones, the one with the...

M*A*S*H - The Movie Video Showcase
-
I never saw this movie in the theatre, in fact, for the longest time I never knew it existed. I thought M*A*S*H was just a cool TV show. Wow - what a great find the movie was for me. It is a bit "dark", but it is so well w...
-
Shrek Video Showcase
-
"Shrek" is an animated movie - a cartoon if you will. Isn't this type of movie supposed to be for kids? Well, yeah, maybe - but I'll admit to you right here and now: I love this movie; I own this movie; I watch this movie over a...
-
Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End Video Showcase

"Pirate's Of The Caribbean: At World's End" is the third installment in the Pirate's Of The Caribbean trilogy. It stands up with the other two with great special effects and (more importantly) continuing snappy, acerbic dialogue...
-
Good Morning, Vietnam Video Showcase
-
"Good Morning, Vietnam" gave Robin Williams one of his most memorable, and moving movie roles ever. As Airman Adrian Cronauer, he gives us a glimpse inside a corner of the Vietnam War, and shows us with humor and heart how the folks a...
-
The Wizard Of Oz Video Showcase
-
I can still remember the first dozen (or more) times I watched this movie I had to cover my eyes every time the Wicked Witch appeared. <shudder> She was so spooky to me, and I was so worried for Dorothy and her friends. This w...

Cleveland Indians Baseball Video Showcase
-
I can remember watching baseball with my grandpa, even before I even understood what baseball was. And,we always rooted for "The Tribe". They didn't win much, especially in those days, but that was a great way to spend a summer...

Such is the premise presented in the pilot (or "Pie-Lette", if you will) episode for one of the best news television shows to come around in a long time. Ned is the Pie Man, and he can bring dead people back to life. For a minut...

Schoolhouse Rock! Showcase

-
Johnny Carson Video Showcase

When I was growing up, it was always a big deal when I was allowed to stay up late enough to watch "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson". And, oh, what a treat he was - even if I didn't always get all of the humor, I knew I liked...

Bob Newhart Video Showcase

"The Bob Newhart Show" was probably one of the funniest shows on television. I don't think I ever appreciated it fully when it was on the first time - although I did enjoy it. Watching it in reruns later, I came to realize how g...

WKRP In Cincinnati Video Showcase

"WKRP In Cincinnati" was one of my favorite shows on television, and then again to watch in reruns. I had the biggest crush ever on the character Andy Travis. The Thanksgiving episode (see below) has to be some of the funniest s...

M*A*S*H TV Video Showcase

I grew up watching "M*A*S*H" on television. I may not have gotten all the jokes when I was young, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of it. The characters felt like friends (well, most of them) and I cared about what happened to...
