An intrepid YouTuber has re-created Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” using dialogue plucked from 331 different movies and TV shows.
The Unusual Suspect — who has previously given the “CinemaSings” treatment to wordy tracks like Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” (257 films were needed for that one) and M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” — uploaded the mega-montage for the Oscar-winning 8 Mile track Tuesday, complete with the video evidence of where each snippet of dialogue was culled from.
While the clips — like Eminem’s wordplay — arrive rapid-fire, among the films used in the CinemaSings “Lose Yourself” are Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (a crucial “Over”), High Fidelity, Lilo & Stitch, Gangs of New York, Galaxy Quest, Blues Brothers, Spaceballs, Interview With the Vampire, Batman Returns, Point Break, Frozen (contributing a “Let it go,” naturally) and hundreds more.
