Ones that come to mind for me are Telephone by Lady Gaga and Money by Cardi B
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
Come to Daddy - Aphex Twin
I want at least a miniseries about the Starlight Brigade, from the music video Starlight Brigade - TWRP
Or a movie about the world/characters from Magnum Bullets - Night Runner
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.

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.

“How Long” by How to Destroy Angels. It’s a better post-apocalyptic story than most theatrical productions in just under 4 minutes.
The trilogy of songs by The Lonely Island ft. Justin Timberlake.
Sandstorm. I want to see the dude run some more.
Like Run Lola Run?
Fade - Kanye West
I am not a kanye fan. But loved this music video. Not that it would translate to a full movie, but still
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Alternatively: Foo Fighters - Lear to Fly
I’d take a new tenacious d movie any day. My vote is for learn to fly as well
Love both those songs, never saw the music video
Weapon of Choice.
I remember stumbling across this shortly after seeing watching Dune (the original) for the first time and thinking “hey wait a minute…”
Walken looks so powerful and wise, almost like an emperor.
The sleeping god…

Is this classical music?
This is precisely what I came in here to say.

Does WAP count?
I’d absolutely go see that movie that’s a fantastic music video lol
Porter Robinson - SHELTER. I would love to see a full movie expanding on the animation.
Hooooly shit you just took me back
agreed!
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…
Both are good choices. Take On Me would be an iconic 80’s movie and Turbo Killer would be B-movie gold.
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!
