Two spring to mind straight away for me, anyway.

Firstly, the white horses Guinness. This is such a beautiful advert, I can't understand why anyone can't like it...

The peace and tranquility of the sea disturbed suddenly as the sea opens, and the waiting ends... the birds eye view of the sea is amazing, and the use of horses, powerful voice over and music make this advert no less than inspiring.

The second one some may have not seen, as it's a bit old. It was made by a newspaper, the Guardian, as that website Mr Neil provided has shown me.

Anyway, it's excellent. The whole premise is never judge something unless you've seen the whole story, and is utterly perfect. The advert is simple a single event, and is shot from three different camera angles.

The first one shows a man running down a street. Nothing much there... you don't really learn anything, and you don't really become interested in what's going on.

The next camera angle shows the man running again, but this time he's running towards another man carrying a briefcase, and you can see that the running man goes to grab the man with the briefcase, and it appears that he's trying to steal the briefcase. This is filmed perfectly, and I think really applies to the subject, being the newspaper, and how stories can become twisted.

And then you see the third camera angle... which explains everything. The man running down the street is indeed running towards the briefcase man, and now you can see why. A large amount of bricks are about to fall on briefcase man, and in a matter of seconds, the running man saves his life. It shows how a criminal can be changed into a hero simply by changing the viewpoint.

Ok, so your favourite adverts please. :0)

My favourite is that Smirnoff advert. The one where the dog is the life of the party and starts singing and playing the piano, that rules :D

I've been trying to think of my favourite advert, and I have to say that it is the Lynx Inca advert with Jennifer Anniston in it!

I think that the advert is very funny, and was very suited to when it was made, because everyone was in love with Jennifer then.

If they did a one like it now, they would need Catherine Zeta Jones!

BNut I have just remembered my all time favourite advert, I have loved this all my life from being a little tot. The Vitalite advert with the singing and dancing sunflowers. That advert brings back fond memories

*AARRGGHH I sound like my nanna!!!!! ]BD *

Well that's it from me!

The guardian advert is quality

Another could advert is the carling black label advert where the brit lobs his towel accross the pool to beat the germans to the sun beds.

The castlemaine xxxx advert where the woman and her husbands's best friend go to bed together then when offered one of the husbands beers he refuses and says "1 couln't he's my best mate"

Dislike:My bank is a tredy wine bar adverts from natwest because my local natwest has become a piri piri resteraunt
