These are my 14 favorite videos made by the Sherlock fandom. They are in no particular order. I've made sure to mark the ones that have season 2 (Reichenbach Fall) spoilers.
1. This first one is just plain silly! It's basically the old Sherlock Holmes and Watson spying on the Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. versions. It's short and great for a laugh!
2. This is a bunch of clips set to the Disney song "Make a Man Out of You". It fits really well with the bossy and criticizing side of Sherlock's personality. It's funny in some places, moving in others, and (especially the last half) is very well put together!
3. This video is less than a minute and is set to the Michael Jackson song "Smooth Criminal". It focuses on Moriarty and REALLY fits his creepy personality!
4. (WARNING: Reichenbach Fall spoilers!!!) I've never heard the song in this video before. It's called "Slipping" and it's part funny and part chilling. It's about Moriarty and his evil schemes.
5. For those of you that don't know, Martin Freeman who plays John Watson also plays Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit". This is a video of clips from the Sherlock series put to the sound of the Hobbit trailer. The Sherlock characters play characters from the Hobbit. John Watson = Bilbo (obviously). Mycroft Holmes = Gandalf. Sherlock Holmes = Thorin Oakenshield. And the 11 other dwarves are played by random other Sherlock characters. If you've seen the original trailers, you'll see that the shots match up pretty well. My favorite part though is at the end when Sméagol is played by Moriarty.
6. (WARNING: Reichenbach Fall spoilers!) I debated on whether or not to include this one. There are so many videos set to sad songs about Sherlock's death. However, I loved how they focused on the deep friendship between the two men. The bond between Sherlock and John is portrayed very beautifully here so I decided I couldn't leave it out.
7. Now for a hilarious one! This is a fan-made video of what a Sherlock trailer would look like if it was a comedic film. It shows several of my favorite humorous scenes from the movie set to upbeat music. I dare you not to laugh!
8. This one is really long, so you don't have to listen to all of it if you don't want to. Basically it is a piano medley of all of the soundtracks of Sherlock. I just had to put at least one tribute to the amazing music on this show!
9. All of Sherlock's insults in one place! There are quite a few of them and they can be pretty creative!
10. (WARNING: Reichenbach Fall spoilers.) This song was done by a fan of the Hunger Games series. The song comes from the third book and she put it to her own tune. It's absolutely lovely and haunting. Putting it up there along with footage of the Reichenbach Fall...well, I have a hard time not tearing up.
11. (WARNING: Reichenbach Fall spoilers.) If the last song almost made me tear up, this one definitely did! It's the heartbreaking and beautiful song "All Shall Fade" that Pippin sings in The Return of the King. It's pretty short. I dare you not to cry!
12. (WARNING: Reichenbach Fall spoilers.) "I'm Coming Home" is a song that's always been dear to my heart, especially after listening to it so many times on my New Orleans mission trips. The video contains shots from the series and from the first season 3 trailer. It's not too long, but it seems to capture the feelings of the loyal fans that have waited so long to see our favorite detective come home.
13. (WARNING: Slight Reichenbach Fall spoilers.) I just really like this song ("Radioactive"). It's not my usual genre, but I still find myself listening to it a lot. In this video it helps emphasize the intensity and fun of the show.
14. Okay, I'll leave you with a funny one! This video is set to the theme song from the show "Kim Possible". You don't have to have grown up with the show (I didn't) to find this absolutely hilarious! The shots match up so well it will have you laughing out loud!
