This action-packed video is the next to leave today. It mainly features a heavily-beat Madonna being brought to be executed in a gas chamber. Those scenes are interspersed with scenes of a white-dressed and black-dressed Madonna sword fighting. In the end, Madonna manages to escape from the execution.
Total production costs of the video were over $6,000,000, making it one of the most expensive music videos ever made.
Again a very good video. This one is full of action and violence, just like a James Bond movie. It's very cool, but I somewhat regret voting for it now. It is a good video, but I think other videos deserved a high placing more than this.

This video, directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, features Madonna, her dancers, and even her chihuahua, in black leather outfits. Madonna's look for this video was latex and leather, to symbolize the constructions of our society.
It was heavily inspired by Eric Stanton. Madonna stated in a behind-the-scenes video, that she and the director not wanted to copy his work and tackle serious S&M, but that they actually wanted to make fun of it.
As the video concludes, we can see a shot of Madonna saying she has ''absolutely no regrets''. Then there's a brief shot of her air-boxing, standing next to the chair she just sat on.

Sadly, this is already the very last video leaving for tonight! Shot over a course of six days, this video was the most expensive video of all-time upon release and it's still very high on this list.
The video starts off with a blue monitor screen with an eye showing the inscription "Welcome". The video progresses inside a blue space ship-style room with Madonna lying in what seems to be a scientific experiment. The imagery cast in this section of the video have drawn comparisons to hermeticism. The video progresses into a sequence of dreams, containing varied surrealistic, mystic, new age, sufi and Egyptian imagery and symbolism. The scene in which Madonna's eyes and her mouth are switched was inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo. Other parts in the video have been compared to her work too, but also to other artists, as René Magritte.
The music video has received alot of artistic recognition over the years. It's been featured and showed in art galleries and museums from all over the world, including the Museum Of Modern Art in New York.
Well, well, what words could I use to describe the amazingness of this video? It's just... I don't know what to say. A very good video and one of, arguably the best, video Madonna has ever made.
It's incredible that such a high budget video was made for that song. I love it, it's one of my favourite songs by her but I don't think the general public really remembers it as it underperformed. If only she performed it on tour again. I wouldn't have minded if this had been #1 in this ranking.
