amv suggestions?

Can anyone name a good AMV (decent to better quality) that would work as an introduction to the range of animation styles in anime? Nostromo's AMVs are definitely high-quality, but Nostromo also seems to focus very strongly on female characters, and I'm thinking something more balanced might be better. It's Tricky To Make A Music Video would definitely be a classic, but its quality is a little low (in terms of what I can download) and the music might be a bit too dated for a classroom. Besides, there's got to be more out there, now, that would have a range of as many diverse videos as ITTMAMV does.

Any suggestions?

I've always been deeply fond of this one:

... but I don't know if it's really an introductory video. Also, it helps if you've seen the original Van Halen video.

I think the problem here is going to be that most good AMVs are going to stick to at least a single theme, which usually leads to a single show or genre.

That is an absolute classic. I've got a HD copy of it, I think, so it's one of the options. And I think it could work, but it's also about six years old, so it doesn't really show the quality levels that anime's taken (especially when it comes to mixing CGI) in recent years. Hmmm.
