I never knew there were so many that synched.

The other movies that Pink Floyd's music syncs up with

One of the strangest phenomenons in music is how 'Dark Side of The Moon' and 'The Wizard Of Oz' sync up, but that's not the only Pink Floyd coincidence.

Am I the only one wondering why you went to the movies with Floyd from The Andy Griffith Show. I bet he would be a hoot!

Well I took it a step further and was wondering why Eugene Levy imitating Floyd the Barber was a thing

Then I remembered the Godfather homage

You may not be aware of this but in 1970-71 Pink Floyd declined Stanley Kubrick's offer to include parts of Atom Heart Mother for inclusion into his forthcoming, dark dystopian and extremely controversial classic A Clockwork Orange. The movie's opening classical musical intro, "Funeral March from the Death of Queen Mary", does sound like some of the spooky, creepy synth effects and disjointed sound effects that rock fans sort of associated with Floyd and would continue to make them famous and iconic, especially on Atom Heart Mother and Meddle or Ummugumma before that.

I wish they'd be more specific about how the albums and movies sync up. I've never watched Wizard while listening to Dark Side. I assume from the clip on the page they mean that songs start and end when specific scenes in the films do, but they never really say what it means. The one paragraph about More and Ben Hur where they say you have to play the recording more than once make the whole thing seem suspicious, though.

I'd at least like to know specific starting points like they give for Wizard so I could try it and see how some of these work.
