- The Virgin Suicides (2000): Soft-focus adolescent reverie and wistful memory wrapped in dreamy haze.
- Mysterious Skin (2005): Shoegaze-soaked beauty and fragile, dreamlike emotion.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): Memory and love dissolving into luminous, surreal imagery.
- In the Mood for Love (2000): Restrained longing rendered in saturated color and drifting atmosphere.
- Donnie Darko (2001): Late-80s suburban dreaminess with an otherworldly, melancholy shimmer.
