      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.)

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

              Yes, Wikipedia says:

              Rutherford named the song after the film Silent Running "because I remembered that film so well, and our song had a spacey feel to it."

                Tool-Lost keys/Rosetta stoned. Maybe the stoner really did see something out in the desert.

                  Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse

                  For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think

                      Die Fantastischen Vier - Krieger could make an interesting piece or art piece.

                      It's German, here's the first lyrics translation weblink I found

                              Each verse could be a chapter in a anthology movie, written and directed by different people

                                That's essentially how they wrote the song, so yeah! I can see it. I'd watch this.

                                  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

                                      I feel like you could do a really dark Scrooge themed story from it.
