** First, the Beauty and the Beast three-parter which contrasts [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast1946 the artsy, surrealist form]] with the [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast conventional, popularly beloved form]] of the story. The major theme of this one is intertextuality: how works play off and refer to one another, and provide very different perspectives on the same basic plot, as shown through the many adaptations of ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and works inspired by it.

** Third, the ''{{Inception}}'' Between the Lines video: again exploring the differences between 'conventional' movies and 'artistic' films, comparing a popular movie often described as surreal and the films accepted in a surreal canon. However, Kyle examines the connections and similarities between these brands of film-making (see again, intertextuality), and also the ''inherent'' surreality of films: that they are all dream-like.

** Fourth, ''[[{{Gerry}} Gerry (Redux)]]''. Another movie that not trying to be a movie, like Blue (although unlike Blue, it definitely counts as a moving image) -- however ''Gerry'' is trying to be something else in particular, a video game. ''Gerry'' can easily be seen as the counterpoint to ''Inception'': it's a movie that often doesn't make those dream-like leaps in time, logic and location.

** Fifth, and obviously, ''This is Not a Film'', another movie that's not a movie, but this time, it's because it's forbidden by law to be so. Unlike ''Blue'' and ''Gerry'', which reject the film and imitate another form of art respectively, ''This is Not a Film'' has to imitate a film, keeping just on the edge of what is legally defined as film-making -- until the end, where that boundary is transgressed. As such, it examines where that boundary is, especially given how easy video recording has become: that there is a thriving community of cheap and quick film-making that often wouldn't be considered as such, and ''This is Not a Film'' falls somewhere between that and 'proper' films.

* He notes in ''Anonymous'' that everything directed by Roland Emmerich has one unifying theme: Roland doesn't like facts, but he loves ''theories'' and every one of his movies is basically an actionized "what if this crazy theory was true" what-if scenario. (He then regretfully notes that ''Film/TheDayAfterTomorrow'' is the only one based on a theory that was actually correct and says "YOU ARE NOT HELPING!")

* Note Kyle averts having a GagCensor during the "moonlight bathing" scene of ''Melancholia''. Obviously the scene would be impossible to take seriously if it had still been covered that way.
