Movies that feel like Wayne's World (1992)

If you loved Wayne's World, the closest films we have are The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988), Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) and Waiting for Guffman (1997). All three share Wayne's World's stylish feel, which is what we rank on before quality. 9 of the 12 picks below are included with a subscription right now on Netflix, HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video and others, checked against today's data.

The adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne and Garth. From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"—and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra. Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra.

The Bellas are back, and they are better than ever. After being humiliated in front of none other than the President of the United States of America, the Bellas are taken out of the Aca-Circuit.

The absurdist collection is accompanied by Dixieland jazz and similar music.
