Pinball wizard

Bob Dylan - Hurricane (which actually became a movie starring Denzel Washington in 1999).

American Pie - Don McLean

Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Tom Petty, running down a dream.

Several rush songs. 2112, Hemispheres, cygnus x-1

I always imagine All Along the Watchtower as a 1980's fantasy movie along the lines of Red Sonya or The Beastmaster.

The Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists

Nice try, Hollywood

Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse

For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think

Dream Theater - Metropolis.
Alternatively, Metropolis pt II - Scenes from a Memory, if you find an ambitious producer.

Alice's Restaurant Massacree

Coheed and Cambria has entered the chat

Tool-Lost keys/Rosetta stoned. Maybe the stoner really did see something out in the desert.

Space Oddity Wellerman

• Yours Truly, 2095 - Electric Light Orchestra
• Underneath the Radar - Underworld
• _ Silent Running_ - Mike and the Mechanics

Tarkus. Giant monsters battling is always fun.

• 38 years old - The Tragically Hip
• Tweeter and the Monkey Man (Travelling Wilburys original or The Headstones cover of it)

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.

• Seether - Love Her
• Slipknot - Killpop

Dispatch - the general

Cologne by incubus would make a pretty wild b-movie

Phish - Gamehenge

Peter Jones - Kilkelly (Ireland), it also has an interesting backstory

It's very sad, but indicative of the time.

Filthy children!

Learn your history!!

Whiskey Lullaby maybe

King for a 1000 years, Helloween

Harry Chapin's "What Made America Famous?" got an unsuccessful musical, but never a film. In a modern update, the song's "hippies" are instead gutter punks squatting an abandoned building, and the fat plumber is the one non-MAGA in the town's volunteer fire department.

Everything I Wanted - Billie Eilish

I feel like you could do a really dark Scrooge themed story from it.

"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

I wouldn't mind seeing what they could do with "East River Revolution" by District 7

Dead Flag Blues. By Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Jacob’s dream: based on a true story of two kids who went missing.

The night the lights went out in Georgia: about a guy who gets lynched.

18 and life: kid finishes school and starts doing crime
