I haven't updated my top twenty in several years. Honestly, the only way to fill this is out is to actually watch every AMV I own and try to rank them...
The best I could do is mention 20 videos I really, really like.
A lot of these are ones you may have never heard of. Some of them may not even be on the Org because they were from fservs, the ML/FTP, or otherwise predate the Org. If you want to see a video not available on the Org, I'll upload to my server. Utena videos deserve their own list. I have as many Utena videos as I do other videos...
Not in any particular order, and more than twenty, but out of the nearly 1000 videos I have, these are the ones that have the most emotional appeal for me. You will notice a lack of comedy. I've also gone back through and eliminated all the currently "famous" videos, thinking they require no more advertisement. Most of my favorite videos are entirely unknown by newer editors.
