Films and TV shows that feel like People Are Strange by The Doors

A sinister, woozy sense of being the outsider in a town where every face looks hostile and the streets seem to tilt away from you.

1. The Doors (1991): Oliver Stone's biopic puts Morrison and the Sunset Strip scene of this very era on screen.
2. Twin Peaks (1990): A small town where every friendly face hides something off-kilter, with a carnival-eerie tone.
3. Inherent Vice (2014): Hazy, paranoid LA at the end of the 60s, full of odd characters.
4. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019): 1969 Los Angeles with a creeping dread under the nostalgia.
5. Easy Rider (1969): Countercultural outsiders met with hostile strangers, ending in paranoia.
6. Apocalypse Now (1979): Opens with The Doors and sinks into a hallucinatory descent.
7. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998): Distorted perception and a world of grotesque strangers.
8. Mad Men (2007): Sixties alienation beneath a polished surface, with a lonely outsider mood.
