Lindsay Cooper : Rags
All the usual suspects (Tangerine Dream, Goblin, Frizzi, Vangelis, Carlos) will get covered (nice to see Myrow's & Seagrave's Phantasm get a mention), so here's a track from Christian Bruhn's music for Timm Thaler. The CD's come down in price, too, so jump on it if you can dig it.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (David Shire).
If 12-tone funk isn't progressive, I don't know what is.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Danny Elfman yet. Granted, he's done plenty of herky jerky, playful soundtracks for comedies and family films and tongue in cheek/kitsch B-movie sci-fi and horror tunes.
BUT Some of his darker, twisted, less comic (but not necessarily always 100% serious) soundtracks are wonderful. I'm thinking for example of Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, Batman, Nightbreed, Darkman, Dolores Claiborne, Sleepy Hollow, The Wolfman, Dark Shadows.
Of course, I suppose that we're not talking of musical movies' OST here.
Because that would exclude Tommy (which is a full-blown musical movie), but not Quadrophenia (which is a "real movie with plenty of great music)
=====================
in terms of musical movies, here is only two of them that I consider proggy:
JC Superstar
and Milos Forman's Hair : the bradway musical was already quite good, but the film's music is soo much stronger with that amazing bass player

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Yes, indeed. When I finally saw this film again after so many years (bought the 3dvd-version) I searched for the soundtrack, but I don't think it's there.
There is a CD with some of the music of this film, but that concerns a George Zamfir-track.
Here's a nice interview with Bruce Smeaton, the composer of those Mellotron-based tracks: http://www.runmovies.eu/?p=2784
Greetings,
One of my favorites (and relevant too IMO):
Cheers,

Some music SHOULD be in film. This is a nice edit with Fiery Gun Hand!
Mabeth - Roman Polanski - Third Ear Band
Not prog, but would be very appealing to fans of symph-prog:
Jerry Goldsmith, Legend - far, far better than the Tangerine Dream music and a lovely mix of orchestra and electronics. A classic IMO,
Howard Shore, The Lord of the Rings - all three as a single work - fine development of motifs,
John Williams, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and A.I. - again, very advanced combination of orchestral and electronic textures. Make sure the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" recording is the complete one,
James Horner, The New World - beautiful stuff, with JH's frequent collaborator on keyboards and programming Ian Underwood, of MOI fame
Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
honorary mention: TOTO’s soundtrack for “dune”. don't yell at me.
TRON (1982 ) wendy carlos stunning soundtrack ! (but forget the track by Journey ...)
