Due to not being sure which 1963 video I've seen (nineteen63 has a seperate video, right?), I can't really say which is worse of them, but I think 60MPH had a terrible video, really.
"True faith." Sure, it has some classic images and moments, but it's also just plain ridiculous and pretty damned ugly. Embarrassing.
Original 'Blue Monday' 1983 by Ikon FCL - Factory Shorts - incredibly crap 'Space Invaders' graphics and apocalyptic soldiers marching - utter crap, but funny at the same time.
Don't tell me you haven't seen it...
1963 looks like something so low-budget and uncreative (and annoying) that one of my unschooled friends could've made it.
Krafty at least has a bit of style to it, schmaltzy as it is.
Of course, they've done much worse.

WHAAAT?? the original video is the best! it's so dated and lofi looking my mouth waters anytime i watch it. especially the clapping hands! those are priceless!!
btw what edit of BM did they use for that video??
I've heard quite some positive comments about the video here in Italy, even from non-New Order fans... it seems to be a success, even more than the song itself... one of their worst? I don't really think so... and 60 MPH was dead funny too... I don't know if they ever made a truly bad video... well, maybe Shellshock and State Of The Nation actually...
I agree that Krafty is rather good, I don't think its as good as crystal by any means though. Now, 1963 was just weird, can't say much for it really. New Order needs to make video's with bands posing as them in it more often. 
:( :\ohwell:

That's pap.
'Jayne Horlicks and the Giant Suitcase'
A great name for a film.
Now come on Hank. I can't be discussing such things.
She has a very good vocal column though, having witnessed the film Little Vocal Column.
Quite simply the worst attempt in the history of televisual musical accompaniement?
Although Fine Time is a close runner up.
Arse.
Don't think I've ever seen a New Order promo video that I would want to see more than once. All shite.
Hum... worst video eh? most people point videos not featuring the band.. but many featuring the band are pretty bad because it's going nowhere.
One good example is Regret.. the video is featuring the band and IS GOOD.
But Shellshock on the other hand... or even State of the Nation which, well, is pretty poor...
Every New Order video makes me want to vomit apart from The Perfect Kiss(Gillian is like an Angel) and Thieves Like Us(Salford is beautifulish).

Hey! Know your 80s video games better!
The game was actually Zaxxon, which I used to play for hours when I was a kid.

Hadn't seen Regret in a long while before it came up on NO's The Alternative stint. Totally forgot that Peter Care directed that one, not as ground breaking as his work with Cabaret Voltaire, but still pretty good for "just" a video, and I've watched it a couple of times since. TPK is probably the best.
As for worst, well, 1963 is the pick.......
why do so many people hate the Krafty video? just because the kids are getting laid and having fun? bitter jealousy!
Fine Time has got to be one of the most uninspired videos ever, clearly whoever made it had not a fcuking clue what to do with the song, and not even visually interesting whatsoever.
Tony Wilson had a lot of experience in the realm of audio/visual, often had lofty arty ambitions.... but oddly did not seem to have much interest in the "music video" (or am i wrong?) New Order/ Joy Division could have gotten alot of video play in the early-mid 80s if they just had more watchable music videos
In the early 80s. they just didn't have the mone. Anyone who has seen any of the early factory footage, often in mono knows what I mean. No excuses though from about 1985 on, for not making a decent vid. Heck they should have made a couple for Subculture, and The Perfect Kiss.
