"Pink Floyd: The Wall" was released in 1982, incorporating almost all of the music from the album.
The film, written by Waters and directed by Alan Parker, starred Boomtown Rats founder Bob Geldof, who re-recorded many of the vocals, and featured animation by noted British artist and cartoonist Gerald Scarfe.
Film critic Leonard Maltin referred to the movie as "the world's longest rock video, and certainly the most depressing", but it grossed over US$14 million at the North American box office.
A song which first appeared in the movie, "When the Tigers Broke Free", was released as a single on a limited basis.
This song was finally made widely available on the compilation album Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd and the re-release of The Final Cut.
Also in the film is the song "What Shall We Do Now?", which was cut out of the original album due to the time constraints of vinyl records.
The only songs from the album not used were "Hey You" and "The Show Must Go On."
