Films and TV shows that feel like Don't Forget Whose Legs You're On by Arctic Monkeys
A cheeky, slightly sardonic take on love‑games set to a tight, riff‑driven groove.
- Trainspotting (1996): The film’s gritty UK urban setting and sharp‑witted soundtrack echo the song’s sardonic, youthful energy.
- The End of the F***ing World (2017): A darkly comic, off‑beat romance set in small‑town England that matches the song’s blend of humor and tension.
- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998): Fast‑paced British crime‑comedy with swagger and a soundtrack that feels as gritty and tongue‑in‑cheek as the track.
- Never Mind the Buzzcocks (1996): Brit‑centric music panel show that captures the same tongue‑in‑cheek, insider vibe of Arctic Monkeys’ lyrical play.
- Submarine (2011): A coming‑of‑age story set in Wales with witty, slightly off‑kilter romance that mirrors the song’s lyrical tone.
- Peaky Blinders (2013): Post‑war Birmingham’s gritty atmosphere and swaggering characters feel like a visual extension of the track’s swagger.
- The Mighty Boosh (2004): Surreal, British‑centric humor and quirky music‑driven sketches match the song’s playful irreverence.
