DSOTM Vs. Wizard of Oz... Any others???  

I have never tried it myself, but one of my friends who is a big Pink Floyd fan has done this. He had never seen the Wizard of Oz before, and watched the movie with the album playing in the background. He said that it was difficult to believe that the two were made independently of each other because they fit together so well. He has still never seen the movie with the original sound, because every time he watches it he watches it with DSOTM! He says that he would highly recommend that any Pink Floyd fan try it, as it is very eerie and at times almost hypnotic in a very cool way. There are numerous websites about it that you can find on google.

Lots of people say that because of technical reasons, it can't possibly have been done intentionally. It doesn't work with the LP because you have to flip the LP over, and the CD (which is what synchs with the movie) wasn't in mainstream use yet when DSOTM was released. Waters, the man supposedly behind the "great gig" of the synchronization, didn't write all of the songs, and also had no control over the length, So I don't think Roger Waters ever really intended for it to be played along with it. Could he have been inspired by it, though? Highly unlikely, but maybe. Maybe he watched the movie as he penned the songs that he DID write himself. And could someone who put together the CD edition noted this, and compiled the songs in an order and length where they could be played with the movie? Highly unlikely, but not impossible. I think it's probably just a very, very cool coincidence.

There've been other fan done syncs, one was the track echoes over the ending sequence of 2001 A Space Odyssey and I remember seing a version of Blade Runner on ebay (forget which Floyd album had been dubbed over it though).

I've just seen a post on Madcaps Laughing (Syd Barrett yahoo/email group) from someone who's done their own versions of Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari overdubbed with Pink Floyd songs.

in response to the part about the Reggae version, I heard that a band came out w/ an album called "Dub side of the moon". matbe this is what you are thinking of.
