Very cool. I laughed out loud several times. Needs a NSFW tag.

The differences in lighting on the characters vs the backgrounds made me think of old CD-ROM games, which gave me an extra laugh.

I could see this done the other direction, too, with clueless Tom Cruise telling everyone in San Francisco that he's a doctor, or Redmond Barry trying to cheat at cards with Nazis in South America.

Pretty much what goes on inside my head most of the time anyway.

No Strangelove, or did I miss it?

Nonetheless, damn fine fun. Would watch more.

Actually now I want to see a conversation between Norman Bates and Pvt. Pyle.

Kubrick is always the villain.

The Shining was basically a terrorist attack.

Hitchcock and Kubrick both reportedly disliked the use of different focal length lenses during the same scenes. This mashup, while fun, managed to use different focal length lenses during the same shots.

Superbly done. Two of my favourite directors, together in one video.
