'Thriller' on the Big Screen? Other Music Videos That Could Be MoviesTruly great music videos are theatrical. They're not just about half-naked girls and nice cars -- the ones with staying power have compelling characters, intelligent story lines, unforgettable art direction and, often, a good dose of intrigue.

But can a video, created to promote a recording artist's single, ever be turned into a really good full-length movie? As reported by Deadline Hollywood, the director of the posthumous Michael Jackson documentary 'This is It,' Kenny Ortega, is currently "in talks" to make a movie based on the greatest music video of all time, 'Thriller.'

At first, it seems odd to imagine how a 1983 music video could translate into a 90-minute feature film. But then again, all it takes is just the right grain of inspiration, and a commitment to the vision, to produce an epic movie. We're not saying Jackson's 'Thriller' is guaranteed to become a good movie (if the project comes to fruition at all), but since the source material is so iconic, it's certainly possible. There are actually quite a few powerful, inspiring music videos, across many genres, that could be adapted into decent full-length films, for reasons having little to do with the music itself.
