Movies is the second album by Holger Czukay, released in 1979 through Electrola.
Czukay's first solo album since leaving Can, the album combines electronic textures and tape loops influenced by the musique concrète work of avant-garde composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, and is an early experiment in sampling, "utilizing media samples accumulated over months of channel surfing and random radio listening" (the Iranian singer on "Persian Love", for instance, was found by chance on radio).[2] Otherwise, the album combines bass and whispered vocal parts with layered synths and lilting African rhythms, the latter courtesy of percussionist Kwaku Baah, and the overall flow of the record is achieved by different segments being pieced into a unified whole.[2]
