The other two vids are: Cloudbusting, a very ambitious, EXPENSIVE
mini-movie with Donald Sutherland and a lot of special effects (Kate, for
one, plays a little boy!) and Hounds of Love, a very strange, somewhat
pointless video that was Kate's first stab at directing. It's fun to look
at, but it doesn't go anywhere. She's trying to create an homage to
Hitchcock, and creates an homage to MTV mentality instead. 

There is also an often-played alternative video to RUTH, taped off a
British TV show called WOGAN, where Kate performs in front of her band,
who are all playing drums and dressed like druids. The music is canned,
but I think (I haven't watched it in a while, so somebody clear this for
me) Kate's singing is live.
