Funny... Clockwork Orange has always been my favorite movie, and it appear like most progheads love that movie too... coincidence...

2001 : Space Odyssey is another of my favorite. Watching it stonned with Tangerine Dream's Zeit or Pheadra is just awesome...

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.

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.

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.

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
