What is a story in a song that would make a good movie?

Coheed and Cambria has entered the chat
I just don't know, man.
I think their songs would make for interesting comics, though!
Dream Theater - Metropolis.
Alternatively, Metropolis pt II - Scenes from a Memory, if you find an ambitious producer.
Honestly Scenes from a Memory would make a great movie, and now I have to go listen to it again
Rhapsody, the band all of their songs progressively tell an epic story that I would love to see in movie form.
Alternatively Nightfall in Middle-Earth from Blind Guardian, love the Silmarillion would love to see a movie about it.
Tarkus. Giant monsters battling is always fun.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
different genre but related is "the mariner's revenge song"
American Pie - Don McLean
Pinball wizard
Boy have I got news for you!
Bob Dylan - Hurricane (which actually became a movie starring Denzel Washington in 1999).
That song is amazing!
Tweeter and the Monkeyman
100%. I always thought I was alone in thinking it.
Space Oddity Wellerman
- Seether - Love Her
- Slipknot - Killpop
I always imagine All Along the Watchtower as a 1980's fantasy movie along the lines of Red Sonya or The Beastmaster.
Fastball's The Way!
They're old...
- 38 years old - The Tragically Hip
- Tweeter and the Monkey Man (Travelling Wilburys original or The Headstones cover of it)
Dispatch - the general
Ooh that would be super interesting
Nice try, Hollywood
Drat! You got me!
The Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists
King for a 1000 years, Helloween
Several rush songs. 2112, Hemispheres, cygnus x-1
Tool-Lost keys/Rosetta stoned. Maybe the stoner really did see something out in the desert.
Alrighty then... picture this if you will
Cologne by incubus would make a pretty wild b-movie
"Heart of a dancer" by the happy fits could make a fun tenacious d sort of movie
"Hell's comin' with me" by poor man's poison would be a classic revenge western
"Big town banky blaine's rockabilly barbeque" by bear ghost could be an interesting look at class war if you could pull it off
Oh and "A tale they won't believe" by captain tractor for man turning to cannibalism to survive
Oh and “A tale they won’t believe” by captain tractor for man turning to cannibalism to survive
Holy shit. Never expected to find another person who has heard of Captain Tractor on Lemmy of all places. They have a long history with me and my college years (late nineties, early 2000s)
I prefer the captain tractor version of the last saskatchewan pirate that's how I found the band but the other song came up on it's own through spotify recommendations
Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse
For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think
Dude I don't think I've ever seen Watsky mentioned outside of his own comment sections. You a real one for that.
Love my guy, George.
Love my guy George. Listening to Cardboard Castles got me through a really rough time in my life and I don't expect to ever be able to repay it. Least I can do is to spread the word.
