Movies in 5 seconds

Doug Walker, better known as YouTube user, That Guy With The Glasses, started off summarizing movies in approximately five seconds by using clips from the movies and sometimes overdubbing them and summarizing a movie and its sequels. Within months, numbers of users were posting their versions of "5 second movies" accrediting him at the end with a line saying "Inspired by That Guy With The Glasses".

Dating back to April 7, 2008 when videos were first posted, That Guy With The Glasses now has his own website with both his videos that he and ones inspired by him. A detailed list can be found on his website here: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/5-second-movies

One example of his work is Titanic in 5 seconds. Summarizing what was a three hour movie into all of five seconds.

However, as I mentioned previously, sometimes they are overdubbed or summarizing the movie and its sequels. The following two videos are examples of that.
Harry Potter (All of em) in 5 seconds

The Godfather in 5 seconds

However, at times the movies get to the point of absolute ridiculousness such as this one:
Scarface in 5 Seconds

Finally, a plethora of 5 second movies by other users that have been inspired can also be found on YouTube.
