We’ve got great news: Volcom is releasing a new film into their incredible and growing pantheon of iconic vids. It comes out next month and it’s called Psychic Migrations. And we could not be more excited.

Today marks the beginning of our countdown to the highly anticipated film directed by RT, the man who brought you Creepy Fingers, BS! and a variety of other favorites from the Volcom library. But to begin, we must know where we’ve been with Volcom to fully appreciated the scale of this. To do this, we’ve compiled the What Youth List of the Top 10 Volcom films of all time below.

And while this is nowhere near all of them, we had to chime in with a list that rounds out the variety and the timelessness of what Veeco Productions is all about. If there are any films on this list you haven’t seen, in their entirety, then click the link above and buy them and get off the Internet and make a memory.

1. Magnaplasm, 1998:

This film is in a class of it’s own really. The eggs. The toast. The surreal breakfast with Bruce Irons. The music. Ween. Bruce. The raw, candid nature of it all, packaged somehow within a surrealist Goya painting. It was ahead of it’s time, and made you feel funny, but it’s a testament to Volcom’s films. As a grom they challenge your perception and you’re not sure why, but you keep watching and they end up living with you forever. Magnaplasm was the film that absolutely changed everything. For Volcom. And for surfers everywhere.

Starring: Bruce Irons, Shawn Barron, Gavin Beschen, Dave Post, Tai Vandyke, Ozzie Wright, Kai Garcia, Jun Jo, Dave Wassel, Mark Caffey, Wooly, Troy Eckert, Matt Murphy, Simon Young, Kaleo Roverson, Rory Parker, Ben Brough, Jordy Brough, Tom Dosland, Kamalei Alenxander, Tyler Smith, Randy Bonds, Mark Taylor, Pat Towersey, Maikai Makena, Mike Morrissey, Kyle Garson, Sean Slater, Billy Hume, Jason Griffith, Brad Anderson
