    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

          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."

                            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
