That first one looks ridiculous (to those who haven't watched it yet, make sure you watch it all the way through). But when you think about it, that runway is probably no different any other runway from the pilots perspective. If you set down too early anywhere you are sorta screwed.
Some crazy airports for landings I have experienced are Sydney (the runway juts out into Botany Bay), Washington-Reagan (the runway is next to the Potomac, and begins right after a bend in the river), and Wellington (hilly on the sides and with the ocean at the end, as in the last two clips here).
Here, I found a Wellington clip (you'll see why it, like Chicago, is known as the Windy City):
I should perhaps also mention that the day I was to fly out of this airport every flight was cancelled because you couldn't see ten feet in front of your face in the fog.
heres the same airport as the first one from a pit view. As you can see its not very bad at all, the one pilot just came in low or wanted to give the beachgoers a show
the second one gets my vote as the most crazy airport

I personally don't find Castlegars too bad.
that pilot doesn't touchdown for a 1000 ft though,look at the first landing again,he touches down 50 ft past the fence.
