    Dream Theater - Metropolis.
    Alternatively, Metropolis pt II - Scenes from a Memory, if you find an ambitious producer.

    Honestly Scenes from a Memory would make a great movie, and now I have to go listen to it again

      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.

            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."

                        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

                                      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

                                          Jacob’s dream: based on a true story of two kids who went missing.

                                          The night the lights went out in Georgia: about a guy who gets lynched.

                                          18 and life: kid finishes school and starts doing crime
