    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

                                  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.
