I strongly believe that Pink Floyd aren't discussed enough in this forum  , so let me ask:Which movie could have been better with a Pink Floyd soundtrack? ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

One of the most disappointing movies recently....Ad Astra could have used something to keep me from falling asleep. Almost anything from DSOtM and Division Bell would have helped this movie. Interstellar is brilliant, not much more you can do with that movie and it had a really good soundtrack.

Hi, I might like to see an original cut of ZABRISKIE POINT with more PF music, but I do not think that the producers, Hollywood idiots, left any bits around and destroyed them so Antonioni would not be able to do anything with them. That said, RW has stated that Antonioni, said that PF's music was too sad. Also, would like to see a better cut of THE VALLEY, since what is shown, even on DVD is cut up way too much and it changes the course of the film, and the music is really not adding anything to the film, beyond the opening shot over the clouds, and even then, that was likely more due to the cinematographer, than anything else ... those folks can see things in many situations that many directors end up using. I would like to see a REMASTERED version of MORE. The music in it is really well done and used, and it is not done "movie style" ... it is done from the girl's point of view as she trips and listens to the music ... and in some ways, it was one of the things that got PF famous for the dope at their concerts, all the way to THE WALL when so many folks were busted in LA. All in all, I am not sure what Barbet Schroeder did or thought ... one movie was great and beautifully done and the other was a mess ... and the music was incidental. I still have the thought that it was studio intervention since they put up the money and they wanted something that brought back the money ... MORE was probably done with 10 dollars and a few nickels and it shows, up to and including what I think was old film stock ... that should not have been used, but I doubt that the film had any budget to even get good film. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I believe that they actually wanted to do that one, but Kubrick was having none of it - there would probably have been a massive ego clash with Waters. ------------- "We're going to need a bigger swear jar." Chloë Grace Moretz as Mindy McCready aka 'Hit Girl' in Kick-Ass 2 |

This is the band that did Larks' Side of the Moonmadness, correct? Geddy Osbourne on vocals? Who was the drummer? Mel Collins? Same guy that ended up singing for Sega Genesis in 19SeventyS1x, correct? It doesn't matter either way because none of those bands are Floydcore, nor understand where the genre was birthed to begin with. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

I admit this didn’t come to me immediately. My first thought when confronted with this post was to give a tongue in cheek answer of Animal Farm, given they already had songs for the Pigs, Dogs and Sheep. But almost as soon as that thought occurred to me, I realised that 1984 would be the perfect vehicle for a Floyd soundtrack. That said, they probably could do a good job for Animal Farm, too. But not with the Animals material we know.... ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Animals has always made me think of Animal Farm, and the 1984 film with John hurt could seriously work well with Pink Floyd music. The Wall of course is also dystopian. As for Steve's mention of 2001: A Space Odyssey with Pink Floyd. That's the first film I thought of when I saw this topic. And Cujo with "Seamus". I'd like it with Tangerine Dream music even more (Zeit, and Pheadra could fit into it well). I would quite like a prehistoric scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey to feature "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict", and of of course "The Embryo" for the Star Child scene. Quite like The Embryo and Several Species... in Altered States too, or even Planet of the Apes. The film under The Skin would work well with music like "A Saucerful of Secrets". My choice, however, will be the Kubrick film The Shining, which would include various Pink Floyd pieces including "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" and "One of my Turns". |

Animals has always made me think of Animal a farm, too, which is why it was the first thing that came to mind. I’m glad it’s not just me, because when I’ve suggested this in the past (in high school, when we were reading the story), I was shot down so fast it was unreal. 😔 In terms of improving the film, Vanilla Sky could use a lot of improvement, but a Pink Floyd soundtrack would certainly be a good starting point..... 🤔 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Vanilla Sky would be improved by people never watching it and sticking with Abre los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) from which it was adapted imo.  I saw Abre los Ojos when it came out here in the cinema. Like it much, much more than the adaptation.

😄 That is generally the case. It’s very rare that I prefer an English language adaptation of a foreign film. A soundtrack from Pink Floyd might not make Vanilla Sky any more watchable, but it would certainly make it more listenable! 😜 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

A most excellent point, and I must most assuredly concur. It would indeed. It has one of those many quite popular or trending artists songs (including Sigur Ros which I generally like) which feels overly concocted by the suits, like target marketing. It feels more like a business decision than an artistic choice, it is a marketing ploy, which is how I felt about the whole film in a way, and I commonly feel that way about remakes. Some other films use a variety in really interesting ways that makes the films more poignant, such as Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves. Another one I just thought of for Pink Floyd, which is not to say that it would improve it, I think it would do the opposite, but One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with Dark Side of the Moon. |

| I believe "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict" would go well as a film soundtrack. Imagine the effect it would have on a Disney animation. |

No. That would be an anachronism: 2001 is from 1968, Atom Heart Mother from 1970. If I remember well, this was discussed recently in another thread... Furthermore, the musical choices made for 2001 are excellent, so I think Pink Floyd would not have been on level with Strauss, Ligeti...
