Video Rewind: The Rolling Stones' Great Video Hits
Video Rewind by The Rolling Stones is a compilation of video clips recorded between 1972–1984. Instead of just presenting unrelated clips and videos just strung together, it uses a framing 'story', featuring Bill Wyman and Mick Jagger, directed by Julien Temple and includes some video directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg. It was first released in 1984 on the VHS, Laserdisc, and CED Videodisc format by Vestron home video.

Wonderful Movie
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I love the stones to death. And I think this was a great idea but it turns into more of a tease were we see bill fastforward through the interesting clips (never before seen footage or rarities). The music videos arent that great either. Song featured include IORR (Classic Clip dumb concept), a fake Miss You, Too Much Blood, She's So Cold. The only worth while videos beinging She was hot and Emotinol Rescue, There is also a Brown sugar piceed with live footage. This video could have been incredible but in the end turned to rubish.
I found a copy of 'Video Rewind' hidden on the bottom a video store about a year and a half ago. I haven't seen too many copies of it about but if you do see one it's worth a look. Directed by Julien Temple (The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle), it's a collection of the Stones videos presented by Mick and Bill from the London Museum of Mankind. These newly shot scenes are general funny (well for Stones fans anyway) and has Bill playing a security guard and Mick as one of the living exhibits (!). Released mainly to promote the 'Undercover' album it's not really a greatest hits like the title promises (most of the clips are from the 1978-83 period). However we do get the uncensored versions of 'She was Hot', 'Too Much Blood' and 'Undercover of the Night'. Also included are two (black and white) highlights from the infamous 'C..ksucker Blues': The groupie scene on the plane and Keith's pushing the TV out of the hotel window. Definitely worth a look if you can find a copy.
