There are probably few examples (and this thread has probably been done previously), but if anyone can relate a film watching experience where some bit of prog was strategically included in the soundtrack, please contribute. For me, the use of Crimso's The Court of the Crimson King in Children of Men was exhilarating.

There are many but what instantly sprang to my mind was the start of Hertzhog's Nosferatu. Pure brilliance, and a way of grabbing you by the throat even before the credits have died down...all through the power of strange corpses and almost ceremonial music:
A small stroke of genius. One of my favourite openings in films. |

Pink Floyd in Zabriskie Point and, of course, The Doors in Apocalypse Now.

Emmanuelle. The score for this famous 1974 soft core porn film pic lifted parts of King Crimson's LTIA. Fripp sued and the case was settled out of court.
Btw, it worked pretty well. Edited by SteveG - October 23 2014 at 11:01 |

I fully agree on the ending section of Zabriskie point. Would love to point out that the movie 'Only Lovers Left Alive' also had some brilliant experimental rock moments.

Speaking of Floyd, what about the majestic combo of 'Empty Spaces + What Shall We Do Now' and Gerald Scarfe's imagery? Absolutely gorgeous film-making is what it is.

I remember hearing TD's 'mysterious semblance at the yada yada' somewhere very recently. If only I could remember what it was. |

The Thief with James Caan perhaps? I remember watching that one feeling the music really added to the overall picture.

I now recall seeing a beat-up, VHS copy of Emmanuelle with a friend back in high school and wondering how Larks'' fit into the film. Thanks for mentioning it. |

Children of Men was made by a prog fan for sure! I've got that DVD somewhere.
There is a great scene in Risky Business involving Rebecca DuMornay and Tangerine Dreams's Force Majeure. Cant' think why I remember that
