How about this:

I still can't figure out whether it's real or not.

The aborted landing in Lisbon was the most interesting. Here's one of my other favorites: it's called Jumbo Jet versus People on the Beach!
Edit: Here's another link; this time it's cars versus a Boeing 747!
Second Edit: I found another video link--a plane overshooting a runway and landing in the water. The video is long, ten minutes, but pretty spell binding. I assume it's real. The fun really begins after the plane lands in the water!!!

Here's the whole version of the bouncy plane video -- it's actually a Heineken beer commercial.

Here's a nifty one, though it's flight sim footage: Pilots of the Caribbean.

This was just a terrible landing. It actually made headlines; Flight ran a series of stills over a narrative. The scariest things were (IIRC):-

The first video at Kai Tak has been well known for years. Contrary to the title it is not a crosswind issue at all but some very incompetent flying which should have led to a go-around. On landing they blew several tyres (notice the smoke). Any Western airline seeing this video would have dismissed the captain.
The next item on the link, the Boeing crosswind flight test videos, are indeed well-handled crosswind landings, an example of how to do it. No swerving about at all.
The low level TAP A321 video showing some loss of control in a crosswind was a feature of the Flight Management System in that aircraft under certain conditions, in particular when using full flap (which is rarely used). It required a fix to the aircraft software which, among other things, led to a ban on full-flap landings for about a year and the aircraft's withdrawl from the BMI service from London to Belfast City in that time, the short runway there needing a full flap approach.
