I just learned that Shunji Iwai's Hana and Alice movies were based on some commercials for Kit Kats that he directed (side note: Japanese Kit Kats are AWESOME). I understand that there's a movie called Uncle Drew that is based on Pepsi commercials. And there's an anime called Penguin's Memory that is like a shittier version of The Deer Hunter, that was based on commercials for Suntory beer. Any other commercial movies that you know of?

Not a movie, but the only thing I can think of are the Geico Cavemen commercials that spun off into a tv series.

Two that came to mind immediately.
Space Jam was basically more or less a continuation of those Air Jordan commercials in the 1990s, where he teamed up with Bugs Bunny first.
The Johnny English series and character was originally created to sell barclaycards and other products in the UK, before they spun him off into his own movie.

Not a movie but isn't Ted Lasso based on a Superbowl Ad?

Untact (2020) written directed by Kim Jee-woon... sort of is a commercial, a feature-length ad for Samsung, shot on 8k (whoa now!) but it plays as a timely, sweet little rom movie on its own too. It's about a guy quarantining and falling back in love with his ex-gf thru her daily vlogging until she suddenly stops posting... and he flees out to find her! // How about commercials that SHOULD be made into movies? Jeremy Saulnier's Taco Bell horror tv spot with Joe Keery writes itself. TB Sheets over the credits, cmon.

I'll have to see if it's on ok.ru now... Edit: Or Youtube. Youtube works.
