If you are interested in finding the album/movie combinations on your own, read no further. In this section, the Pink Floyd albums are listed in chronological order with the corresponding movie. In some cases, only part of the movie lines up with the album, but in the majority of cases, the entire movie can be played to music. A description of each sync appears by clicking on its title. I find that playing a movie with the Closed Captioning helps to follow the movie plot and themes, while performing the sync.

| repeat the CD until the end of the movie |
2. A Saucerful of Secrets (1968) with The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
| discovered by Todd Ellis and Andrew Wendland in April 2003 |

| sync length = album length (approx. 45 minutes) |
| start the CD at the beginning of the movie: some versions have the Overture followed by a Cecil B. DeMille introduction, while other versions have the Cecil B. DeMille introduction followed by the Overture |
| either way will work |
| one cue is that The Nile Song (2nd track on CD) starts exactly when the credits change color from red and orange to purple and yellow |

| discovered by Andrew Wendland in Feb. 2009 |

| revealed on 16.04.1998 |
| sync length = album length (approx. 52 minutes) |
| start CD at beginning of the Overture, if watching a very old copy of Doctor Zhivago with original length Overture; the Overture has a nice scenic background in this version |
| or, if watching a new copy of Doctor Zhivago (such as 30th Anniversary), start CD and play it for 32 seconds before starting movie at beginning of the Overture; the Overture is 32 seconds shorter than original and has boring screen background |
| probably 99% or more of the copies out there have the shorter Overture |
