10 Best Videos Inspired by a Movie - BB
The 10 Best Music Videos Inspired By a Movie
Quote:
|
Kanye West, "Fade" (2016)
Tupac feat. Dr. Dre, "California Love" (1996)
Foo Fighters, "Everlong" (1997)
The Foo Fighters are true music video geniuses, even when the song doesn’t quite match the visuals. Actually, that’s when they’re at their best: “Everlong” is one of the band’s most beautiful and romantic songs, and they (and pop-surrealist director Michel Gondry) went and made a gloriously bizarre, Evil Dead-inspired music video for it that's goddamn perfect in every way.
Beastie Boys, "Body Movin’" (1998)
If there was one '90s group who seemed to have even more fun making videos than the Foos, it was the Beastie Boys. Whether they were making their own brilliant short films (like 1994's peerless “Sabotage”) or doing their own mini-version of cult classics like 1968’s French-Italian thriller Danger: Diabolik -- as they did with 1998's "Body Movin'" -- their videos were among the most reliably thrilling of MTV's second decade. Featuring decapitation, wigs, and a recipe for a dynamite-looking meat sauce: "Body Movin" was particularly emblematic of the Beasties' always-tasty cultural stir-fry.
Madonna, "Material Girl" (1985)
Madonna and Marilyn Monroe are two of pop culture’s all-time biggest sex symbols, so it made sense that Madge’s tribute to 1953’s Gentleman Prefer Blondes -- guest-starring Keith Carradine of Nashville and Dexter as the pop star's love interest -- was a match made in music video heaven.
Paula Abdul, "Rush Rush" (1991)
Smashing Pumpkins, "Tonight, Tonight" (1996)
Yes, there was a time when wrestler and PAWS Chicago magazine cover man Billy Corgan was front and center for this brilliant, gorgeous, rock and roll send-up of the groundbreaking 1902 silent film A Trip to the Moon. The "Tonight, Tonight" video was so sweeping that it rolled right through the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, winning six Moonmen, including Video of the Year.
Jay-Z feat. Blackstreet, "The City is Mine" (1997)
Miles Fisher, "This Must Be The Place” (2009)
Marilyn Manson, "Dope Hat" (1995)
