madra sneachta Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I was at a quiz tonight, and some friends and I were talking about bands named after films. We came up with a few ideas- Big Country The Searchers They Might Be Giants Any more suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kazz, and there's also the Duran Duran/Barbarella connection, but it's specifically bands named after film titles we were discussing.

Midway Hawker Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Marillion started out as "Silmarillion" after the JRR Tolkein book... After a short time they shortened the name to just "Marillion" OK, I know it's a book not a movie, so just shoot me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
