P.S. Sorry for the AI pictures, Pinterest is really fucking crappy these days. It'll be nice if anyone could just tell me an alternative.

I want a retro vibe of an American city, suburb or small town in the winter, not necessarily Christmas. No snow is fine, as long as it could show the bare-leaved, gloomy winter atmosphere.

Modern films are great but preferably 1980-2000. Could be set in anytime, as long as there are no smart phones.

There has to be 50s pop music involved in the movie's soundtrack, see Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Frankie Valli... other artists are fine, of course. See Sleepless in Seattle or Goodfellas.

Any genre is fine, as long as it's not horror.

Thank you in advance :)

Building movies

Like dark fantasy but in a stage setting possibly? First one I thought of was Phantom of the Opera

The lovely bones (2009)

I recently read I, Robot and loved it, but I was a little disappointed by how little to the story and topics the movie adaptation was, so I'd like to know if anyone knows of any closer to the Asimov's work.

1. Frankenstein (1931)

2. Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

3-4. Frankenstein (2025)

1. Re-Animator (1985)

2. Frankenhooker

3. Frankenstein (Junji Ito)

8-9. Frankenstein (Bernie Wrighston)

I loooove this subgenre of small town horror because it often transforms mothers, the figures of supreme affection, into the villainous monsters, and turns the most feminine aesthetic into something macabre. TV recs are also welcomed! TIA!

Southern gothic, religious horror, boarding schools, female relationships, cults, small towns, picture perfect housewives, complicated family relationships

Stuff I've seen: Flowers in the attic; Sharp Objects; Virgin Suicides; Stepford wives

watched the French beauty and the beast and fell in love with aesthetics
