nostalgic sounds

The cult classic every pretentious teenager discovered and thought nobody else knew about. Time travel, demonic rabbits, and Jake Gyllenhaal's breakout role.

Dir. Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson's stop-motion masterpiece about a fox who can't stop being wild. Peak Anderson symmetry and immaculate vibes.

Dir. Richard Ayoade

If Wes Anderson made a British coming-of-age film. Super 8 film grain, melancholy Welsh coastlines, and Alex Turner's perfect soundtrack.

Dir. Peter Sollett

One night in NYC, two heartbroken teens, a stolen car, and the best indie soundtrack of 2008. Pure midnight magic.

Dir. Marc Webb

The ultimate anti-rom-com Tumblr couldn't stop posting about. Zooey Deschanel as manic pixie dream girl, JGL as heartbroken boy.

Dir. Stephen Chbosky

THE Tumblr movie. The tunnel scene with Heroes playing is pure cinema. You'll cry. Everyone does.

Dir. Colin Trevorrow

Aubrey Plaza investigating a time traveler with the most iconic classified ad ever written. Awkward, sweet, and perfectly indie.

Dir. Gavin Wiesen

An extended Tumblr post about teenage nihilism and first love. Peak 2011 indie aesthetic with rooftop conversations and Brooklyn vibes.

Dir. Greg Mottola

Summer '87, a theme park, and the most perfectly curated '80s soundtrack ever. The summer job movie that makes minimum wage look romantic.

Charlie Kaufman breaks your heart. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet erase each other from their memories. You'll cry and dye your hair blue.

Dir. Jared Hess

The weirdest movie that became everyone's favorite. Moon boots, a llama named Tina, and the dance scene that made awkward cool.
