P!nk Forever's Top 10 Lana Del Rey MVs of the Decade


Recommended Posts

Inviting all Lipsters to play judge and tell me if I'm worthy of being a hybrid stan.

The Top 10 was actually harder to make than the P!nk one because Lana's videography is much more complex.

Sit back and enjoy!

#10: WEST COAST

ALBUM: ULTRAVIOLENCE

YEAR: 2014

DIRECTOR: VINCENT HAYCOCK

I was torn between "West Coast" and the other monochromatic video "Blue Jeans" but ended up with the one that includes the iconic fire scenes and the sudden color switch.

#9: VIDEO GAMES

ALBUM: BORN TO DIE

YEAR: 2011

DIRECTOR: LANA DEL REY

While the video itself is not an HD masterpiece Lana created a world around her with self directed stuff like this. The imagery is so well thought out and put together that it's hard to not add this gem of a video to the Top 10.

#8: LOVE

ALBUM: LUST FOR LIFE

YEAR: 2017

DIRECTOR: RICH LEE

Lana may only do the singing part but the cinematography of the video is top notch. The space setting is incredible and the close ups of a smiling Lana for once are an extra you won't want to miss.

#7: SHADES OF COOL

ALBUM: ULTRAVIOLENCE

YEAR: 2014

DIRECTOR: JAKE NAVA

Lana lives out her daddy complex to the fullest in this piece. It's the water scene where she just comes out that is the highlight of it all.

#6: NATIONAL ANTHEM

ALBUM: BORN TO DIE

YEAR: 2012

DIRECTOR: ANTHONY MANDLER

Leave it to Lana to create her own version of the Kennedys and giving her best Marilyn Monroe impression. The way Lana reflects on history is always something special.

#5: DOIN' TIME

ALBUM: NORMAN ****ING ROCKWELL

YEAR: 2019

DIRECTOR: RICH LEE

Lana going all big, feminist style in this old movie flicks inspired video. With the blonde wig she channels Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. But one can also see a similarity to her original alter ego Lizzy Grant.

#4: TROPICO

ALBUM: PARADISE (EP)

YEAR: 2013

DIRECTOR: ANTHONY MANDLER

The best art film to have ever existed inside the 2010s decade. Sorry, Kanye, not sorry. The story is beautiful, the grainy filter which is present at times not so much. The biblical context is another thing but Lana shows once more what a creative mastermind she is along with the help of an established director.

#3: HIGH BY THE BEACH

ALBUM: HONEYMOON

YEAR: 2015

DIRECTOR: FRANCESCO CARROZZINI

Another video in which Lana is going all hardcore on the paparazzi who spies on her beach house, just in time to shoot him with her gun. Pretty iconic.

#2: RIDE

ALBUM: PARADISE (EP)

YEAR: 2012

DIRECTOR: ANTHONY MANDLER

Again Lana shares similarities to Julia Roberts with her donned hair and carefree spirit. The daddy complex is more than present here but that doesn't take away from the quality of the video. The monologues make the video pretty special too.

#1: BORN TO DIE

ALBUM: BORN TO DIE

YEAR: 2011

DIRECTOR: YOANN LEMOINE

You just need two things if you want to show the bitches how it's done: A throne and two tigers. And the place where everything is happening better be a cathedral. The whole video is dramatic in such a good way. We see a half naked Lana, the US flag waving in the back - she's cuddling with her boyfriend played by Bradley Soileau, who also carries a dead Lana out of a car wreck. To me still the best video of the decade. You won't find anything better unless I'm out of the loop.
