I want Childish Gambino's "This is America" to be the RNA of a musical. Glover, with the right support, could make a legendary piece of American performance art.

Take On Me because the rotoscoping work is amazing, and now more movies need to embrace it.

  • closest movie: Cool World, which is basically an avant-garde music video of its own, with people transitioning between the 2D and 3D worlds

Turbo Killer because it has fast cars, violence, and Satanism

  • closest movie: Rock and Rule, set in a furry cyberpunk dystopia "where magic and technology collide", featuring glowing pentagons and shiny (not as fast) cars
  • second closest movie: Nicolas Cage's Mandy. Just wait for it...

Dude, Turbo Killer DID get turned into a movie!! Carpenter Brut & Seth Ickerman did a ~30 min followup to Turbo Killer called Blood Machines. The plot and acting are awful. But the aesthetics are really good.

Sick! Amazing that there's music videos and movies like this out there. The music is awesome as well. Thank you both for sharing!

I love me a movie that can carry itself through aesthetics alone!

Both are good choices. Take On Me would be an iconic 80's movie and Turbo Killer would be B-movie gold.

I remember stumbling across this shortly after seeing watching Dune (the original) for the first time and thinking "hey wait a minute..."

Porter Robinson - SHELTER. I would love to see a full movie expanding on the animation.

I've always thought of it as a movie, but yeah, longer with added dialogue and stuff. I have Stella tattooed on my arm, I'd LOVE to see some sort of remake/retelling of Interstella5555

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons

This is pure comedy gold and i could watch a full movie about underground stuffed animal/puppet/Muppet pit fighting.

The song is okay too but I much prefer the cover by Within Temptations.

I was just reading something recently where either Dan or somebody from TWRP said that they actually tried to pitch Starlight Brigade as an animated series, but were never able to get it off the ground beyond just a music video.

Which is a real shame, because I love the design to Starlight Brigade. I would've loved to have seen what the fully-realized project could've looked like.

100% agree. It's one of those songs that if I hear it or think of it, I HAVE to look up the video and watch it all over again.

Directed by one of/both? of the directors of Everything Everywhere all at Once

Foo Fighters - Everlong

Alternatively: Foo Fighters - Lear to Fly

5

I'd take a new tenacious d movie any day. My vote is for learn to fly as well

Learn to fly, foo fighters

Within, daft punk

Tanha Dil, Shaan

Rooster, Alice in Chains

Wow this is awesome, thanks for sharing! I know what I'm watching next.

The Safety Dance. Excluding the origin story (of the song), what’s the story behind the video. It looks like some kind of fantasy medieval-esque festival.

2

illenium just put out a "album video" basically and if it were a full length feature film with the story of whatever that location was, I'd watch it.
