Films and TV shows that feel like Love by The Smashing Pumpkins

An ethereal and hypnotic journey through romantic obsession and cosmic alienation set against a wall of fuzzy guitars.

1. The Doom Generation (1995): It captures the exact brand of 90s alternative nihilism, romantic doom, and neon-soaked American highway surrealism.
2. Lost in Translation (2003): It shares the song's feeling of intimate, floating isolation amidst a glittering, overwhelming urban backdrop.
3. Nowhere (1997): Gregg Araki's psychedelic teen wasteland mirrors the fuzzy, hyper-stylized despair of 90s alt-rock culture.
4. Twin Peaks (1990): Its haunting sonic landscapes and cosmic dread evoke the same otherworldly weight as Billy Corgan's best guitar hooks.
5. My Own Private Idaho (1991): An aching, poetic exploration of youthful drifting and unrequited longing set to a melancholic dreamscape.
6. Before Sunrise (1995): It captures the fleeting, intense, almost hallucinatory urgency of falling in love in your youth.
7. Cigarettes & Coffee (1993): This short film feels like the lo-fi, midnight-conversation cousin to the Smashing Pumpkins' nocturnal romanticism.
8. Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995): A masterpiece of mid-90s teenage alienation, cosmic imagery, and the painful desire to connect with another soul.
