The 1997 'Parklife' one filmed in London's Hackney Marshes is perhaps the most memorable. Took its name from a 1994 song by Blur.

A clever campaign created and made famous by Maxwell House coffee. Whenever I drink Maxwell House coffee, the saying pops in my mind for some reason. It was definitely a catchy phrase that is easy to remember.

British Airways - The World's Favourite Airline
Classic example being the 1989 'Face' advertisement that ran for a few more years into the 1990s. Check out the 'Manhattan' one from the early 1980s that was the forerunner of such high profile adverts including the London 2012 Olympic ad campaign.

The 'cricket on beach' one from 1994 is one in this long running series. Somewhat underrated to the recent ones like its take on a bank and a karaoke concert.
