Pink Floyd -- The Wall (1982), directed by Alan Parker

Mix of live action, surreal imagery, and evocative animation makes for some striking visuals but the script by Roger Waters (who wrote most of the songs on the double album on which this musical is based) fails to provide much coherence to the story of a rock musician whose troubled life has left him depressed and psychologically isolated from the rest of society.  Still, as a mood piece, it, like the Pink Floyd soundtrack, certainly has its moments, highlights including grotesquely faceless schoolchildren marching into a meat grinder, a fascist episode, and some of the bizarre animation sequences.  Not a great film by any stretch, but certainly an interesting one.
