Originally, "Movies" was supposed to be the lead single, which would explain why two of its music videos were made before "Smooth Criminal"'s.
There are currently three known versions of a music video for "Movies."
The second debuted in March 2001 and was directed by Marcos Siegahttp://mvdbase.com/artist.php?last=Alien%20Ant%20Farm&first= Music Video Database for Alien Ant Farm] . it features the band performing and goofing off in front of a screen that's flashing all kinds of old movies and movie previews and in front of a Hollywood sign. It also highlights behind the scenes stuff, to coincide with making a movie, such as make-up being done, camera angles and lighting being checked, and cords all over. It even has "The End" at the conclusion, like an old-time 40s or 50s movie.
This version also features a longer intro.
