We have 'Best sitcom of all time' and 'Worst current advert' threads but, over the years, there have been some incredibly good adverts. Some clever, some with enormous style and some very funny.
It would be good to share opinions on the best adverts ever - not least because it will very likely jog some memories.
I'm going to start with Guinness adverts in general but particularly the surreal 'Pure Genius' series with Rutger Hauer. One of these was actually voted the best advert of all time (the surfing/seahorses one) but I thought the best was the one which started: "The Earth revolves at 1000 mph, continues with Rutger as a scarecrow who said: 'If you keep an open mind you will discover ...' and ends up with a version of the famous 'death playing chess' scene from 'The Seventh Seal' (they are actually playing draughts and a white draught turns into the head of a pint of Guinness.

Genius.
It's only a pity that the quality isn't quite good enough to fully appreciate the guy's facial expressions.
I could go on
