- American Honey (2016): It shares the restless, sun-baked wandering and reckless romanticism of the American fringe.
- Twin Peaks (1990): It evokes the same haunting, Lynchian sense of dark nostalgia lingering beneath a pretty surface.
- Call Me by Your Name (2017): Both are soaked in the intense, bittersweet agony of a passionate summer romance bound to end.
