It started me thinking that most of the songs in this category were going to be good story telling songs which seem to come from the country music section.

Alice’s Restaurant was released in 1967 and, according to IMDB, a movie was made in 1969. I thought I saw a movie back in the 80s based on The Devil Went Down to Georgia but can’t confirm that.

Surprisingly, I can’t think of a single Johnny Cash song that was turned into a movie and he was one of the best story telling singers ever.
