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.
I love me a movie that can carry itself through aesthetics alone!
Sick! Amazing that there's music videos and movies like this out there. The music is awesome as well. Thank you both for sharing!
Both are good choices. Take On Me would be an iconic 80's movie and Turbo Killer would be B-movie gold.
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.
Interesting that you chose "RNA" for that phrase :)
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.
agreed!
Hooooly shit you just took me back
Well, Tunak Tunak Tun of course.
Daft punk discovery series of music videos.
Interstella555 ?
Yep, and one more time, and digital love and.....
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
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.
Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Ya know, the one with the underground fight club with little stuffed animal guys? That would make an awesome movie
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.
The Safety Dance. Excluding the origin story (of the song), whatโs the story behind the video. It looks like some kind of fantasy medieval-esque festival.
Beastie Boys - Sabotage

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.
