I don't know of any other films to sync up "Dark Side of the Moon" to, but the final chapter of Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" goes very well (and is identical in length) to the epic Pink Floyd song "Echoes". The way they go together is remarkable. More fulfilling than "The Wizard of Oz" and "Dark Side of the Moon". “Blade Runner” actually goes very well with the “Wish You Were Here” album.

But recently I've heard of the synchronistic interplay between Floyd's "The Wall" and Pixar's "Wall-E" I have yet to try it. These were the top five that I think would be most interesting: Pulp Fiction Silence Of The Lambs Any of the Indy Movies Fight Club The Dark Night When I was in high school, about *cough* years ago, we used to partake in some herbal refreshments and “The Dark Side of the Rainbow” (on vinyl and VHS!!) it brought us much delight.

The first episode of The X-Files, or maybe the final episode of Twin Peaks. You could try something that’s 42 minutes long, so you can see how the album works over an entire narrative.
