What a bargain.
Buffalo '66 and Children of Men both featured loads of vintage prog.
The score to Ladyhawk was by Andrew Powell, longtime Alan Parsons collaborator.
The music for the sci-fi TV show Babylon 5 was composed by Christopher Franke of Tangerine Dream fame.
Miami Vice also featured some proggy music, including the main theme.
And has anyone heard Eddie Jobson's work for Nash Bridges?
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
I have several of the CDs and they're quite nice, but you'd never know that they had any relationship with TD from the sound alone. Another TD-related soundtrack that I like is the one for the 80's remake of The Blob, by Michael Hoenig who was a member of TD for about a week.
Jan Hammer's done a whole bunch of music for film and TV: http://www.janhammer.com/film-tv-credits

More... pink Floyd
Sorcerer ...
Nighthawks
Still alive and well...
I have his Miami Vice music on a ton. Glad I got to pick that collection up signed by the man. One of my prized signed cds for sure. Love me some Hammer!
That's worth some bucks, too! Also, if you don't have Snapshots 1.2, get it!
Akira has some excellent proggy sounding stuff. Geinoh Yamashirogumi is the shit.
Wonderwall Music
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
Some of Jerry Goldsmith’s stuff is pretty proggy, especially the Logan’s Run soundtrack, where he was experimenting a lot with synthesizers.
Also seek out his theme tune to Seconds from 1966, and prepare to be amazed! I believe that might be the first instance of an overdriven Hammond organ on a recording, years before the Canterbury guys got the idea.
More directly prog-related, there is Keith Emerson’s soundtrack to Dario Argento’s Inferno (1980).

We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Dude! Have you not heard Jerry's music for Damnation Alley? That's my favorite score of his. Check this out.
Keith and Goblin also contributed to La Chiesa (The Church).
There's a *cough* boot *cough* expanded Elliot Goldenthal score for this that's terrific.
Anekdoten's own Nicklas Barker:
HuGo"Very, very nice," said a man in the crowd,
When the golden voice appeared.
She was gold alright, but then so is rust.
"Such a shame about the beard."
Most any Tangerine Dream soundtrack:
Sorcerer
Risky Business
Thief
another vote for this
I'll add Mark Isham from The Beast
That was a good one! I still remember the scene where the truck is being driven over the rickity bridge in the pouring rain; the music was perfect!
"Normal is just the average of extremes" - Gary Lessor
Still my favourite album involving Emerson.
More directly prog-related, there is Keith Emerson’s soundtrack to Dario Argento’s [I
Since Goblin has been mentioned, I must of course point out another good horror soundtrack by an Italian progressive band,
that is Schock by Libra.
Well, there is none of the "improvise while the sequencers go chugga-chugga" stuff, but some of the synth bits do remind me of the early-80s TD. There is even more of that feel on a few tracks of Franke's Pax Terra, which recycles a few cues from Babs 5 and features two bit schlagery but fun orchestral rock songs for more prog-style bombast. Of course, it's a soundtrack to a literary series, so it doesn't really qualify here. I like it, though.
Picnic at Hanging Rock:
This was a movie that caught my attention in the seventies and I was glad to buy the DVD (double-disc version). Would be great to have the music on CD.
Identificazione Di Una Donna also features Tangerine Dream, but also Japan.
Don Ellis - The French Connection
Jerry Goldsmith - Planet of the Apes (1968)
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
