Curious to know how many prog bands made soundtracks to films.  Tangerine Dream, Goblin and Pink Floyd are only a few I can list.

When watching movies I hear great sound tracks, but never  from progressive artists!..Confused

Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin have all composed soundtracks.

Guru Guru even starred in a German TV-movie called "Notwehr" ("Self-Defense"), and I mean starred; they had major roles, especially Mani Neumeier who played one of the male leads. the other male leads were played by Günter Lamprecht, one of the very best German actors, and Friedrich von Thun. of course Guru Guru supplied the soundtrack as well

Can you remember the film title of these movies?

The best known of Emerson's soundtracks is for the Sylvester Stallone film, "Nighthawks". "Best Revenge" is another US movie he did. He also did some Italian and Japanese movies, including one of the Godzilla movies.

The 2 Wakeman movies I know about are "Lisztomania", a crappy movie with Roger Daltrey in the starring role, and Wakeman in a funny cameo. The other I saw was "The Burning", a blatant "Friday the 13th" ripoff. Wakeman's music in Lisztomania was great. The Burning, not so much.

I can't remember which movies Rabin scored, but I know I've seen him frequently in credits.

Gabriel did "Birdy" and "The Last Temptation of Christ".
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

I keep on thinking that prog would be a wonderful genre to do soundtracks. You could get the traditional "song" parts, plus the instrumental dramatic parts in one same song, etc. Oh, and I do wish Wakeman's music from the Myths and Legends album would be used in a movie about King Arthur (though perhaps in a more orchstral version, without the rock instruments).

Popol Vuh did a lot of soundtracks, most notably for the Werner Herzog movies "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" and his remake of "Nosferatu"

Journey did Dream After Dream. 
Musically, quite a departure (no pun intended) from the type of music they were producing at that time.

Why are you including here a still from the great motion picture comedy Phantom of the Paradise with soundtrack composed by Mr. Paul Williams?
