        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

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