Random toot: Greece Olympic Ceremony, 2004. While Beijing did a spectacular job with theirs, you can't discount Greece and how haunting and dignified their celebration of Greek history, culture, and tradition was. No need for flashy dance numbers. Just a parade of floats showing familiar images from archaeology, art, literature, theater, etc., showing the birth of Western Civilization.
