Love my guy George. Listening to Cardboard Castles got me through a really rough time in my life and I don't expect to ever be able to repay it. Least I can do is to spread the word.
Oh and “A tale they won’t believe” by captain tractor for man turning to cannibalism to survive
Holy shit. Never expected to find another person who has heard of Captain Tractor on Lemmy of all places. They have a long history with me and my college years (late nineties, early 2000s)
I prefer the captain tractor version of the last saskatchewan pirate that's how I found the band but the other song came up on it's own through spotify recommendations
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.

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

Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse
For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think
justsquigglez@leminal.space · 2 pts · 1y
Dude I don't think I've ever seen Watsky mentioned outside of his own comment sections. You a real one for that.
Love my guy, George.

Each verse could be a chapter in a anthology movie, written and directed by different people
skulblaka@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y
That's essentially how they wrote the song, so yeah! I can see it. I'd watch this.
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Yeah I know, I think they shot the music video for it in a similar way, and a movie with a bigger budget could expand on that

Dream Theater - Metropolis.
Alternatively, Metropolis pt II - Scenes from a Memory, if you find an ambitious producer.
Nibodhika@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Honestly Scenes from a Memory would make a great movie, and now I have to go listen to it again

I'd love to see a movie based on Silent Running. But I'm afraid it's shaping out to be a documentary...
(The existing movie of the same name has nothing in common with the song, but it's worth watching anyway.)

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.

Whiskey Lullaby maybe
Kowowow@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
"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
