Recently, the brilliant director Mark Romanek, whose work includes the video for Johnny Cash's "Hurt" and Jay-Z's "99 Problems," listed seven of his favorite music videos for the New York Times. Six of them are available for viewing online:
"Only," Nine Inch Nails
"E-Pro," Beck
"Naked As We Came," Iron and Wine
"Feel the Machine," the Chalets
"Romantic Death," the Suns
"Easy/Lucky/Free," Bright Eyes
You can also see Romanek, Jay-Z and Rick Rubin talking about the making of the "99 Problems" video here.
And here are a few more videos recently posted for Web viewing:

"This Year" is the first music video in the 10-year history of the Mountain Goats.
The White Stripes, decked out in 1940s fashion, perform for a crowd of children in an old theater in the elegant black-and-white video for "My Doorbell."
