Examples:
Steven Soderberg's Logan Lucky takes the heist film and puts it in NASCAR territory. Comparisons to The Killing are appropriate, but also From Russia With Love and Raising Arizona.
Todd Phillips' Joker models Arthur Fleck after Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver) and Rupert Pupkin (The King of Comedy) and even stars Robert De Niro himself in a finale channeling Network.
Joseph Kosinski's Only The Brave tells the real-life story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a tight-knit Arizona firefighting squad. What films have similar themes?
Paul Greengrass' News of the World starring Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel has critics recalling the filmographies of John Wayne and James Stewart, as well as François Truffaut's The Wild Child.
Rose Glass' Saint Maud depicts loneliness in a way that recalls Taxi Driver but infuses the horror of Repulsion, Possession and Carrie.
Jennifer Kent's The Babadook rekindled our interest in contemporary horror after years of remakes and retreads. Its motifs have been used in films such as Lights out, His House and Under the Shadow.
Chang-dong Lee's Burning is a confident slow-burn mystery. It recalls Hitchcock, Antonioni's Blow-Up and, according to one critic, Jack Nicholson in The Pledge.
Debra Granik's Leave no Trace shows the fringes of society, a father and daughter living off-grid and in the wild. What other films will it remind you of?
Kogonada's Columbus meditates on life and our emotional response to our built environments. It recalls films like Red Desert and Lost in Translation. What else will it remind you of?
