2001 A Space Odyssey is the ultimate prog head movie! My reasonings!:
-40 minutes of dialogue in a 2hour-15min movie (the silent parts could be seen like prog instrumental parts)
-THE STARGATE/BEDROOM SEQUENCE (unbelievably prog if you ask me)
-abstact concepts
-the just-plain spaced out feel
-it's a Kubrick film

Waking Life
If you haven't seen this movie yet, you have an interest in philosophy, lucid dreaming, art house type movies, or just want an interesting view, check it out! The visuals of the movie are very progressive in themselves 
It does have a pretentious layer to it at first, and after the first few views i wasn't sure whether or not i really liked it. Then i watched it some more and i now love it! I guess i just got used to that layer and was able to see past it and even not mind it.

I think Zabriskie's Point is a pretty progressive movie....excellent soundtrack!
The movie High Fidelity....a pretty funny but ultimately lame movie....features a poster of Crimso's Discipline LP on the wall of the record shop where the main character works/owns.

And at one point Jack Black's character enters the store singing one of the instrumental sections to the Rush song Jacob's Ladder.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I've alwasys enjoyed A Clockwork Orange, though I do wish the movie would have included the last chapter from the original book. Still is a great movie.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I like "The Phantom of the Paradise" by Brian de Palma, good rock from seventies!
Another good musical: Hedwig and the angry inch.
Anybody is fond of Korean movies? I love Oasis, Oldboy, My Sassy Girl, The Foul King, Memories of a Murder, Il mare,... They have a very solid cinematographic industry.

Have just finished watching the entire "Matrix" trilogy on pay tv. Now that is good proghead stuff although the sound-track is definitely not!!!

I'm surprised nobody has mentiond La Vallee. It's a good movie, and the soundtrack is by Pink Floyd.
