Movies that feel likeScott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.

If you loved Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the closest films we have are The Fall Guy (2024), Dragons Forever (1988) and The World's End (2013). All three share Scott Pilgrim vs. the World's kinetic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Notting Hill (1999).
