Much like jazz, prog+movies is potentially a marriage made in heaven. It should have been combined much more often. And here’s 24 of the ones I could think of that I enjoy enough to reccomend.

I could easily have included some genuinely progressive Stelvio Cipriani, Ennio Morricone, Bruno Nicolai mm… titles but I’ll stick to "PA artists". I'm mainly interested in full scores and not collections of songs.

I should perhaps come back with videoes/examples and such... but haven't got the time right now. So for now I'll leave you with this lovely thing:

I really like that Gong album. Second and third choices would be the two Goblin albums.

Don't know enough of these to vote, but I do quite like Aguirre.

So many I love here and I know the majority. The Wicker Man is a fave, those Frizzi and Goblins. The Popol Vuhs, love J.A Seazer. But I'm feeling Lucifer Rising right now....
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I wish there was a great King Arthur movie that used Wakeman's album (or an adaptation from it) as a soundtrack.

I Libra got my vote but I'm a big fan of that Gong album along with Ash Ra Tempel and Bobby Beausoleil's albums.

That is nice of you to say that-thanks. Hard To Be A God works wonders for me; it was hard to order from Canada way back in the day (1989) but now I have-and cherish-it.

Hi,

Vangelis - "Blade Runner" is great, but remember he won the Oscar for "Chariots of Fire"
Klaus Schulze - "Bodylove" was badly used in the film.
Popol Vuh - "Aguirre" over "Nosferatu" simply because of the ending sequence which is amazing.
Tangerine Dream - "Sorcerer" would likely be their best and it was the last concert series they did before Edgar passed away. They scored the whole film, not just an LP's worth.
Mogwai - "Kin" should probably be mentioned before "Atomic" since the music is way better used and directed in the film.
Goblin - Hard to even choose one, specially when so many of the films were badly directed and did not know how to use the music.

Have not seen some of these listed. Bummer!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Most of the time I wish the music on these albums was put to much better use. Very few directors of cult/horror etc.. from the 1960's-1970's (and early 80's) seemed to have a clue in how to use all this fantastic music that was made for them. And most of the time the score was a far superior work/product on its own, than the actual film. But listening to the soundtracks for some of my favorite movies, like Nosferatu, Aguirre - the largely unused music on them, gets a life on its own. And I remember the feel of Herzogs movies through them - not the other way around.

-About ten of these I haven't seen at all. I tend to like soundtracks as an approach to creating music in itself. Haven't heard/seen Kin, but will do something about that.

-Winning an Oscar is hardly an argument. That's like saying "remember Jethro Tull won a grammy for Crest of a Knave". Chariots of Fire probably does what it's supposed to perfectly, but as I haven't seen the movie it sounds like music composed for the olympic games opening ceremony or something like that (at least about 2/3ds of it). 

Anyway, I can't believe I forgot to include my one of my favorite combinations of moving images/music:
