"Pale Movie" is a song by British pop group Saint Etienne from the album "Tiger Bay". It was released in February 1994, and reached #28 in the UK Singles Charts.However it was a big hit in other countries, especially in the Middle East, reaching number 1 in Lebanon.Fact|date=November 2007

The track combines a Eurodance beat with Spanish folk-style guitars. The lyrics use surreal imagery to describe a man's love for a mysterious woman. Although the title is not sung, some of the words refer to cinema: "In the bed where they make love / She's in a film on the sheets. / He shows dreams like a movie, / She's the softness of cinema seats." Other lines are stranger: "her skin as white as the milk, / Just like a Sherpa Tenzing / under a Manila silk."

In an interview with "Melody Maker" magazine, keyboardist Pete Wiggs has said that he considers the song "potentially brilliant" but "a bit of a failure"; he feels that the band "stuck too rigidly to our folk idea". He also adds that they only chose Spanish guitar so that they could go to Spain for the video. [http://www.saint.etienne.net/saint/etienne?http://www.saint.etienne.net/ec/discography.html] Sure enough, the video for the song features the band riding around the Spanish countryside on scooters.

The cover art for the single features photographs of swimming tigers, presumably in reference to the album title.
