"Yet Another Movie" is the sixth track, along with "Round and Around" on Pink Floyd's 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. It features soundbites from the film, Casablanca.
It was performed at every show in their 1987 - 1989 tours and featured in the double CD version of Delicate Sound of Thunder. On Delicate Sound of Thunder, the band separated Yet Another Movie from Round And Around which is not done on A Momentary Lapse of Reason. It has been suggested that the song is about the Medieval Feudal period, and the transition from Merolingian to Carolingian power. Specifically, the song refers to "a pointless life had run it's course," possibly referring to the Merolingian dynasty.
