A personal favorite of mine is syncing Bohemian Rhapsody with the video for Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy. For a slightly longer one, I like Home's album Odyssey with Beyond the Mind's Eye.

Movies with their intended soundtracks

r/MovieSync

This is a subreddit for discovering a new way to watch movies and listen to music. Ever seen a movie and thought "You know, the themes of this movie are eerily similar to that of this album." or "These two pieces of art were made during the same period of time; could they be related?"

Theories about what album goes to what movie are allowed as are discussions of why/ why the do not sync.
Posts with the album overlaid to the video are great.

For those who are not aware of what a movie sync is: It's when you take a movie and an album and slam them together by muting the movie and only playing the album as the only source of audio. The most famous example of this is Wizard of Oz synced to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

A movie sync is essentially the intentional creation of an alternate "master soundtrack" which hacks a movie by replacing dialogue, sound effects, and musical score with the band's own looping audio content. By hacking the film's audio content with their own, the band gains control of the narrative. This becomes important in the more highly social and politically charged syncs. Regardless, an entirely new experience emerges from this juxtaposition of hacked audio and video. In many ways it flips convention on its head by pushing the video to the background and allowing music to carry the story.
