The 10 Greatest Music Videos Based on Movies
6. Beastie Boys, "Body Movin'"
Film: Danger: Diabolik
"Body Movin'" was such a decadent tribute to the 1968 Italian spy film that DVD versions of Danger: Diabolik featured the video as an extra. As per usual with the Beasties, the video teems with cartoonish violence, high-brow sillies, and nerdy popcult imagedropping.
5. Foo Fighters, "Everlong"
Film: Evil Dead
Dave Grohl is the Peter Sellers of music video, and he should be championed alone for the consummate level of goofy conviction he brings to the medium. His equally game bandmate Taylor Hawkins spends "Everlong" enduring flashbacks to images from Sam Raimi's masterpiece, and his horror-comic acting chops are as hilarious now as they were then.
4. Madonna, "Oh Father"
Film: Citizen Kane
One of Madonna's most emotional videos reexamines her well-known life story (repressive father, deceased mother) while combining it with noir hallmarks from Orson Welles' debut triumph. Director David Fincher uses the snowy "Rosebud" yard, dark sense of scale and shadow, and the childlike glow we associate with the implacable cinematic treasure. Madonna's performance in the video, meanwhile, is breathtaking all on its own.

But what about Michael Jackson's Thriller, based on the motion picture West Side Story?
One more Fincher. Abdul's Cold Hearted is a take on All That Jazz...
Do TV shows count? Weezer's Buddy Holly...
Interesting Fact> There is a video collection of the best of Playboy Playmate video features. They function basically as erotic music videos. There are several which resemble and pre-date Madonna videos; "Express Yourself" included.
All this time, I thought that was Reese Witherspoon in bed with Dave Grohl. My bad.
Audioslave, "Show Me How To Live"
Film: Vanishing Point
Busta Rhymes, "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See"

Puff Daddy - Victory - based on The Running Man
I'm not sure if it still is, but was the most expensive video ever made at the time.
P Diddy run the city...show now pity!!
Blur - To the End

The Cranberries - Linger

I remember listening to "Stacy's Mom" when it came out and liking that song. I didn't know it was a film, I thought one of the band members was in love with an actual girl named Stacy's mom. I was really young, in my teens, when it came out.
There's a hip-hop video, I forget who by, that's a scene-by-scene recreation of "GoodFellas". And Brian McKnight's "Back at One" was clearly inspired by The Jeff Bridges film "Fearless".
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here No More
Film: Alice in Wonderland
Blur - The Universal
Film: A Clockwork Orange
You need to get some actual accreditation from a gambling or dealer school.. most casinos will require that you had proper training.. although you can add your previous experience with dealing in underground games to your resume.. I personally like to play online poker because the dealers don't talk much, just kidding..
good videos
