The last Mission Impossible movie - the one where Tom Cruise breaks his ankle and almost falls off a helicopter. It was awesome. Also starring: Henry Cavill's moustache. 
You know, there's no "Dark side of the moon". Every part of the moon knows an alternation of nights and days just like the Earth.
Julie Taymor's "The Tempest", "Caligula", and "Conan the Barbarian" (Schwarzenegger version). Weirdly work quite well as a triple feature.
Ghostbusters 1984
You know, the reference has nothing to do with the actual Moon. "The Dark side of The Moon" is what they called the base where they played music with the aliens. It's like right there in the clip.
The base itself wasn't named after the actual Moon? I don't think so. I think initially someone must have thought that the unseen (from Earth) side of the Moon was eternally in the dark, otherwise, the name makes no sense whatsoever. Like when the pope says "Urbi et Orbi", it comes from a time when people thought that the Earth was flat. It's meaningless now but he says it anyway. A lot of religious things are like that.
Religious things yes. Government functionaries, no. I'm pretty sure the only reason it was called the "The Dark side of the Moon" was because it was an operation mounted on one side of a big rock that nobody was supposed to see. Whether or not the reference was scientifically accurate was likely the furthest thing from their minds when they were planning it.
