BOC albums and their movie counterparts
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:22 pm
I've been thinking about this recently, and I would love to compile a list of movies that encompass the general vibe and aesthetic of each BOC album. Films that put you in that same sort of mindset. Some of these are sure to overlap albums, but here is what I have come up with and would love for more input and recommendations:
Tomorrow's Harvest definitely has vibes of nuclear proliferation, the apocalypse, zombies, science fiction, antiquated technology, government overreach.
- Threads (1984 tv movie)
- A Strange Harvest (1980 tv movie)
- The Day After (1983 tv movie)
- Day of the Dead (1985)
- Dawn of the Dead (1978)
- Soylent Green (1973)
- The Thing (1982)
- Silent Running (1972)
- Prophecy (1979)
- Phase IV (1974)
- The Idaho Transfer (1973)
- Where Have All The People Gone (1974 tv movie)
The Campfire Headphase puts me in the mindset of a late 60s/early 70s road trip movie. Counter culture reigns supreme.
- Zabriskie Point (1970)
- Vanishing Point (1971)
- Cannonball Run (1981)
- The Last Movie (1971)
- Thumb Tripping (1972)
- The Hitcher (1986)
- Badlands (1973)
- Duel (1971)
Geogaddi is obviously more witchy and occult than their other works. This album reminds me of films that seem innocent but happen to have seriously sinister undercurrents.
- Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
- Heavenly Creatures (1994)
- The Wicker Man (1973)
- The Andromeda Strain (1971)
- Season of the Witch (1973)
- Capricorn One (1977)
- Wizard of Oz (1939)
- Be Glad For The Song Has No End (1970)
- The Beach (2000)
- Rosemary's Baby (1968)
- Suspiria (1977)
- The Brood (1979)
Music Has The Right To Children is a tough one. We know this is heavily inspired by the NFBOC, nature documentaries, and short films, but are there any motion pictures that capture this album for you?
