I know a lot of movies with music made by progressive bands or musicians (Popol Vuh, Goblin, Philip Glass, Wendy Carlos), but not like The Wall. I saw this film many, many times, and always enjoy it as the first .

Not that I know... but I do find several movies quite proggy! For instance, my favorite movie, Stanley Kubrick's "A clockwork orange" or "Midnight Cowboy" with Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman...

A very Good one was TOMMY, great film by Ken Russell

I saw one that pretended to be prog', the Styx movie they showed before the Kilroy Was Here tour, What a piece of sh*t.

Pink Floyd at Pompeii, does that count or do you mean strictly films with at least a semblance of a plot?

In that case:

Liztomania: Music by Rick Wakeman, performed by Roger Daltrey.

Tommy: Mention again because it's performed totally by The Who, and even it's not an a to z band, the album is 90% prog.

Quadrophenia: Film made in 1979, idem Tommy comment.

Jesus Christ Superstar: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice are not drom the a to z list, but I can swear J.C.S. has a lot of progressive elements.

Blade Runner: Not a rock Opera, but an excellent soundtrack by Evengelio Odsiseus Papathanassiou .aka. Vangelis. Also the movie is very progressive in the same sense someone mentioned Clockwork Orange before.

Ok, think of PINK FLOYD whenever you watch:

"The Valley" - Obscured by Clouds

"More" - from the "More" album and

"Zabriskie Point" - most of the OST arranged and provided by Pink Floyd, including two special compositions for the same purpose by Rick Wright

Regards,

Land

What about HEAD by The Monkeys, with a cameo from Frank Zappa. A lot trippier than the TV shows and worth a watch for psych-fans.

There was a  Dario Argento film with a prog soundtrack.Can't remember either the film or the band though (BTW I'm NOT talking about 'Inferno' which I know Keith Emerson did the score for )

I dunno if you’re trying to recall the great 70’s Italian symphonic progressive rock band GOBLIN. They actually performed several Original Sound Tracks for Argento’s movies, and those films are:

 

- Non Ho Sonno

 

- Phenomena / Creepers

 

- Profondo Rosso / Deep Red ( Goblin and Giorgio Glasini )

 

- Suspira

 

- Tenebre

- The best of Goblin ( What a treat this double CD pack is! The first disc contains a selection of Goblin tracks from Dario Argento movies and the second, a previously unreleased rare recording of a live Goblin concert from 1979! )
