Since 1965 Alexey has already started composing movie music. Since 1979 Rybnikov has been a member of the Union of Cinematographers.
Working over the past four decades in cinematograph Rybnikov has written music for more than 100 films. Despite the huge total number of the movie works, some of them have become important milestones in Rybnikov's creative work. Among them there are soundtracks to such movies as:
The Treasure Island (1971) by director Eugene Fridman;
The Adventures of Buratino (1975) and “About the Little Red Riding Hood. The Continuation of the Old Fairy Tale” (1977) by director Leonid Nechaev.

A million of vinyl discs were sold out for just a year.
Hello, can you hear us? (1990) — is a picture by a Latvian director-documentalist Yuri Podnieks. It produced an effect of an exploded bomb with its straightness and the truth about the modern world. The film won the Golden Lion at the festival in Venice in 1991;
Children from the Abyss (2000) by director Pavel Chukhray.
Star by director Nikolai Lebedev is the movie that brought to the composer all possible home awards for music in cinema and also the National Prize of the Russian Federation.

Rabbit Over the Abyss by Tigran Keosayan
TV series The Case of the Dead Souls by Pavel Loungin
Rock-opera “The Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta” with the libretto by Pavel Grushko, telling a story about life, struggle, and death of the legendary Chilean hero became the composition that opened a new — theatrical era in Rybnikov's life.[4]
“The Star” rose on Lenkom's stage in 1976. Its director was Mark Zakharov, who had offered this project to Rybnikov. On one hand, musical innovation, strength and conviction of the young composer, his subtle perception of alien melodic culture, and bringing the world of rock-music with its hard rhythms to the home drama (!) stage provoked a prolonged reject from censors (the performance had been banned 11 times for political reasons; finally it was released). Originally, the musical sphere was closely connected with the texts from the Orthodox Prayer Book and Psalms. Rybnikov's third musical-scenic composition — “The Liturgy of the Heathens” was created during almost ten years.
