Music Videos Inspired By Movies
Some of the best music videos of recent times have been pastiches of famous films…
Michael Jackson changed music videos forever with the 1983 release of Thriller.
With a big-name movie director at the helm and clocking in at 14 minutes, it aspired to Hollywood production values and forever raised the bar.
Although Thriller wasn't a pastiche as such, it borrowed heavily from Landis' horror-comedy An American Werewolf In London, and led to all manner of videos inspired by movies like Madonna's Material Girl.
Lady Gaga's Telephone video features a direct homage to Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, in the shape of the actual Pussy Wagon from the movie.
For Kanye West's Daft Punk-sampling hit Stronger, he turned to Japanese anime for inspiration, recreating almost shot-for-shot several scenes from the 1988 post-nuclear thriller Akira.
Madonna will forever be known as 'the Material Girl' thanks to that song's iconic video which saw Madge don a pink dress, gloves and jewels in a knowing parody of Marilyn Monroe's Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend routine from the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
