The Mothman Prophecies.

texas chainsaw massacre
the proposition (heavy on the atmosphere)
the science of sleep (meh)

TCM has a neat score.

"Drift" is pretty cool, the Leah Singer/Lee Ranaldo DVD. about an hour long, neat visuals, awesome sounding on headphones. Experimental music and some spoken word, plus it comes with a pretty cool booklet.

this movie by Shinji Aoyama (he of 'Eureka') apparently, though I haven't been able to see it anywhere:

does LEE do the spoken words? I like his words in that album clouds he did w/ William Hooker.

Planet of the Apes (original)
Andrei Rublev (Tarkovsky)
Rivers and Tides (music by Fred Frith)

John Zorn has his Filmworks series..

Yes, he does. Lee is probably my favorite sonic, though i am saying this without owning a single text of light cd. i know there's that box set that they released this year, and he's got a bunch of books published through soft skull. I think he's terribly gifted and underrated and somewhat undiscovered i guess. i'm hoping when SY discontinues that he will be able to write a novel type book. I'd be terribly excited about that. This kind of makes me think about what will happen when Beck gets older. I hope he will be more involved with writing when he turns gray, because his lyrics are quite good. I can imagine something like a white Gabriel Marquez from both of them.

Wavelength by Michael Snow

Let's Scare Jessica to Death (which recently FINALLY got a DVD release) has a great Walter Sear soundtrack of noisy modular moog stuff. Lots of percolating 16-step analog sequences, sine bass overdriving filters, modulated pink noise, etc. Excellent film, great score.

Phill Niblock - China and Sunsets

I did a paper on this if anyone cares to read, I shall post

(tho i believe VHS is the only format available for this documentary)

Wavelength by Michael Snow

And on this tip of Canadiana, nearly anything by Norman McLaren. Especially his early animations where the soundtrack is manually etched onto the sound strip of the film.

Andromeda Strain
music by Gille Melle.. modular and homemade synth weirdness soundtracking virus mutations (literally). In fact - I'm going to listen to this now.

Forbidden Planet (1956)
Directed by Fred M. Wilcox

just synth bliebs and blurbs, really great

there is a moment they put in a sort of music-tape on that planet, and all you hear is totally abstact synth, very funny

the music isn't exactly the most extreme thing i've ever heard, but the combo with the film makes something else entirely:

BIll Morrison's "Decay"

There are some clips on there too, but this is a devastating movie to sit through: decaying old film footage that goes in one straight line from messed up but not so bad looking to completely shredded.

Bill Morrison's "Decay"

I'm a bit skeptical of this, though I have no seen it. I would like to see it. However, I don't particularly have interest in Michael Gordon (composer) and the Bang on a Can group. The film seems a bit like William Basinski's "disintegration loops" - possibly a one-trick pony, especially when one considers the tape work of Jason Lescalleet.

Excellent calls, another Michael Snow film with an amazing soundtrack is La Region Centrale. There are some clips of Wavelength here
, and I believe there are lots of McLaren and Snow works on Youtube, which at least gives an idea of the soundtracks, if not the greatest picture quality...
