No Thriller = FAIL

Interesting they have two Mark Romanek and two Spike Jonez videos. also nothing from Eric Zimmerman, he did a couple of the early NIN videos, among a slew of others, and some of those would lend themselves to this kind of thinking.

Also, no Tool videos? That's just a weird omission.

WTF???

Dare to Be Stupid would make a great movie.

Didn't Weird Al pretty much make a movie out of a music video when he made UHF?

Wow. Call me emo, but I was expecting at least something from 30 Seconds to Mars in there.

Pearl Jam - Jeremy. But it would be really depressing.

Mr Tumnus: No Thriller = FAIL

Thriller Sucks, or maybe I'm just tired of that video being on EVERY "Best Video" list.

/this post in no way endorses a belief in the occult.

WhyteRaven74: Also, no Tool videos? That's just a weird omission.

Thats what I came in to say, but I think if Danny actually did make them into full length movies, we would have more people achieving transcendance or going mad in the effort.

Unkle, Radiohead, and Sigur Ros? I like the list.

The Chemical Brothers have some awesome videos that could fit into movie form nicely.

P. Diddy- Victory. Come ON, it's already halfway there. IT HAS DENNIS FREAKIN' HOPPER IN IT. Not to mention DeVito...

I dig the Fatboy Slim video with Walken..but the song just seems so forgettable. If I heard it in a club or on the radio somewhere I don't think I'd even recognize it despite having seen the video several times.

What??? No "Mr. Roboto??" That video had everything!

If that had been a movie it would have unseated "Rocky Horror" as the ultimate midnight movie experience and possibly extended MST3K for years to come. Just imagine if Tor Johnson had been in it!

Mr. Coffee Nerves: What??? No "Mr. Roboto??" That video had everything!

Guess you never saw this:

Dusk-You-n-Me

Setting Sun would be crazy.

haha Coffee and TV .. that was a great Music video at first i was like WTF but then I LOL'D ..... they say on the website they wanna see more of Milky the walking milk carton but ... at the end he gets squished and joins his loved one at the end if i am correct ... it's been soo long since i seen it

I don't think any of those videos, regardless of how good they are (A number are in my personal batch of favourite videos), would survive the 90 minutes streching.

Although speaking of feature length music videos: Interstella 5555 (new window)

Sabotage. That is all.

Hell yes. I need to go download this now, been ages since I've seen the full version.

1) Copperhead Road by Steve Earle
2) Long Cool Woman in a black dress by the Hollies
3) Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts by Bob Dylan
4) Crusin' by Mike NeSmith
5) Fire on the Mountain by Marshall Tucker
6) A Country Boy can Survive by Hank Williams, Jr.
7) Stacy's Mom has got it going on by Fountains of Wayne

Where is "Smack my Biatch Up"?

Wow. That Journey video is unbelievably awe-ful-some

If I had to put together an over the top parody of a 80's music video, I probably couldn't do any better than that

Ween, "Freedom of '76."

Stealers Wheel did one that could be made into a movie about Congress.

They made a movie based on Closer. It was called "The House on Haunted Hill".

3) Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts by Bob Dylan
This is one I would like to see. Lets get Johnny Depp on board and we have a winner.

Movies based on video-clips I would really like to see :

1 Rush - Distant early warning
2 Depeche mode/Linkin park - Enjoy the silence
3 Genesis/Disturbed - Land of confusion
4 Rush - The body electric

That would make for a couple of interesting movies...

Where is "Smack my Biatch Up"?

Directed by M. Night Shamalamadingdong

I thought of this one right away

Mike & The Mechanics (new window)

Bobby Infinity: Sabotage. That is all.

THIS

I was expecting "American Storm" by Bob Seger. It was supposed to look like clips from a nonexistent movie starring James Woods.

I knew 'Just' would be in there. Oddly enough, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer for The Happening.

Killing Floor, Bruce Dickinson. Would be a wierd movie :)

This is bogus. Don't ya think if they had more than 3 minutes worth of ideas for a music video, they would have made a movie out of it?

Best movie based on a song:

Chris Cunningham should make a full-length movie.

No Michael Jackson = FAIL.

Billie Jean at the very least.

And any Spike Jonze video could be a movie.

Sabotage by the Beastie Boys FTW.

The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.

Body moving?

Oh, wait.

Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots. It already has a prelude and what not.

I had never seen the Closer video before - what they're doing with that monkey is disturbing. Also, it's so NSFW and I had to cut it half way through.

/Listening to Reptile
//Love NIN

Oh, and that list is not complete without Black Hole Sun.

Basement Jaxx - Good Luck (new window)

A few of my darker suggestions:

Man's too Strong - Dire Straits
Jackie Brown - Mellencamp
Over Yonder - Steve Earle
Garden of Allah - Don Henley
I am a Town - Mary Chapin Carpenter

"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" would make an awesome surreal movie.

Aphex Twin's Windowlicker. Nothing would be more exciting than seeing 90 minutes of booty-shaking girls with Richard David James' face digitally superimposed. Sort of like the Burly Brawl in Matrix Reloaded, except more freaky.

/Does making everyone in your video look just as weird as you seem a bit narcissistic?
//Good techno but jeez, enough of the Richard

I thought the video for greedy fly ^(pop) was pretty damn intriguing. Disturbed maniac kills an angel and cuts off its wings. Would make a great movie if they could maintain the mood of the video throughout.

I think that's the point of the video, he's making fun of hip hop videos and the blatant narcissism in the music....That video is from 10 years ago, too...nothing has changed.

HeadLever: Man's too Strong - Dire Straits

Hmmmm....

I'm just and ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal
And I'm fading away
Father please hear my confession

That'd be a hell of a western.

AN ageing....

stupid no preview.
