Films and TV shows that feel like Choosin' Texas by Ella Langley
It captures the untamed impulse to leave behind old baggage and chase wide-open spaces with a swaggering, broken-heart defiance.
- Hell or High Water (2016): It mirrors the dusty, sun-bleached desperation and stubborn independence of the Texas landscape.
- Thelma & Louise (1991): Both share the fierce, windows-down momentum of women leaving their old lives in the dust.
- Logan Lucky (2017): It captures the same grit, attitude, and low-stakes southern rebellion.
- American Honey (2016): It runs on the same restless youth culture drifting across the American backroads with a soundtrack of defiance.
- Justified (2010): It shares the sharp-tongued southern bravado and outlaw edge found in the song.
- Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017): Both feature unapologetic female leads refusing to play by anyone else's rules.
- True Detective (2014): It evokes the brooding, sun-baked isolation of southern and southwestern highways.
- Queen & Slim (2019): It taps into the high-stakes romance of an impromptu road trip where turning back is not an option.
