What song should be turned into a movie?


I think the thread title speaks for itself.

I was thinking of "Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus" or "A Boy Named Sue".

One Dutch one:

How Do You Do (1972) - Mouth & MacNeal

😆

So it's gonna be a movie with some people constantly going "na-na na-na"? Hot!

reply

a musical maybe - you Dutch know how to party.

reply

Yes, a musical set in a hippie squatters' community in 1970's Amsterdam! Featuring all of Mouth & MacNeal's hit songs!

How about Radar Love by Golden Earring - a young man goes on a cross country drive to win back his true love.

The KKK Took My Baby Away

Nobody involved in producing this fast little number even agrees on what it was about so the script could go in any direction!

reply

I feel like Tommy Wiseau should be the director!

reply

Oh Hai Stratego!!
I had the same thought...

Great minds and all that

M83: Midnight City

It's a great song. Could be an amazing film.

reply

Yes I agree.

For What It's Worth, by Buffalo Springfield. Very relevant today. Ever listened to the lyrics?? Check it out.

99 Luftballons by Nena would make a nice post nuclear war movie.

Jack and Diane
Mellencamp

We flash foward from an opening montage of the Tas-T-Freeze, the Football heroics, The backseat stuff to the modern day

Jack broke his leg in the big finals game during Senior year and now hobbles about the shop trying to eke out a living repairing broken tractors...he drinks too much, chain smokes and tells bitter tales of his former football prowess until all of the old boys in the garage start laughing him off...

Diane is a waitress at the greasy spoon in town until one day a rich real estate mogul stops in for a Tuna Melt and Coke and beholds her undying beauty...despite her love for Jack she regrets holding him back from his dreams, regrets marrying him, regrets having three kids to heal the wounds in their failing relationship...and this rich city slicker is coming on strong

It will be a romantic drama about the two most popular kids in school 25 years later and the test they are both put through to hold the family together and save the farm

Will their love last?
Will Jack get his shit together?
Will Diane split town with the rich asshole in the sportscar?

That right there is a movie guys!

reply

That sounds really stupid!

With regards, Strategy.

Well, when i walk all sexy-like down the Red Carpet for my 'screen writing' and 'handsome leading dude' Oscar nominations i certainly know who wont be invited!

Going a little more abstract I think that one could get creative with "While the Earth Sleeps" by Peter Gabriel and Deep Forest, or even "Silent Lucidity" by Queensrÿche.
