Ones that come to mind for me are Telephone by Lady Gaga and Money by Cardi B
Take On Me because the rotoscoping work is amazing, and now more movies need to embrace it.
- closest movie: Cool World, which is basically an avant-garde music video of its own, with people transitioning between the 2D and 3D worlds
Turbo Killer because it has fast cars, violence, and Satanism
- closest movie: Rock and Rule, set in a furry cyberpunk dystopia “where magic and technology collide”, featuring glowing pentagons and shiny (not as fast) cars
- second closest movie: Nicolas Cage’s Mandy. Just wait for it…
Both are good choices. Take On Me would be an iconic 80’s movie and Turbo Killer would be B-movie gold.

Dude, Turbo Killer DID get turned into a movie!! Carpenter Brut & Seth Ickerman did a ~30 min followup to Turbo Killer called Blood Machines. The plot and acting are awful. But the aesthetics are really good.
I love me a movie that can carry itself through aesthetics alone!
Weapon of Choice.
Walken looks so powerful and wise, almost like an emperor.

I remember stumbling across this shortly after seeing watching Dune (the original) for the first time and thinking “hey wait a minute…”

Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches. Who wouldn’t want to see a musical comedy with ninjas?

Fade - Kanye West
I am not a kanye fan. But loved this music video. Not that it would translate to a full movie, but still
I want Childish Gambino’s “This is America” to be the RNA of a musical. Glover, with the right support, could make a legendary piece of American performance art.
Interesting that you chose “RNA” for that phrase :)

Foo Fighters - Everlong
Alternatively: Foo Fighters - Lear to Fly
I’d take a new tenacious d movie any day. My vote is for learn to fly as well
Just for the giggles, Turn down for what.
Directed by one of/both? of the directors of Everything Everywhere all at Once
Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy. I felt even the directors cut was a bit rushed and left several unresolved themes.
IU - Love Wins All
A deaf girl and a blind guy navigate a post apocalyptic world where they are being hunted down.
