As a reminder...

Movie posters

For Colored Girls vs Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow - Piet Mondrian


Ironweed vs René Magritte - The Lovers


The Night Walker vs The Nightmare - Henry Fuseli


Albums

Paloma Faith - A Perfect Contradiction vs The Entombment of Christ - Caravaggio


René Magritte

Thirteen Senses - Contact vs The Pleasure Principle (Portrait of Edward James)

Others to adopt similar tactics include Beat About the Bush (Show of Hands) and Let's Do It For Johnny!! (Bowling for Soup).

Funeral for a Friend - Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation vs The Lovers


Movie scenes

Now the real fun begins.

Shutter Island vs The Kiss - Gustav Klimt


The Adventures of Baron Munchausen vs The Birth of Venus - Botticelli


Inherent Vice vs The Last Supper - Leonardo da Vinci


Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil vs House by the Railroad - Edward Hopper


Melancholia vs Ophelia - John Everett Millais


The Mill and the Cross vs The Procession to Calvary - Pieter Bruegel the Elder


To save you looking it up, film is based entirely around painting.

Climatic scene pans out of masterpiece, hosted by the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

Kind of an odd one this.

Frankenstein (1931) vs The Nightmare (original version) - Henry Fuseli


Okay, hairy little incubus is missing, but woman sprawled out on bed (in this case Elizabeth), looks familiar, yes?

It (2017)

Pennywise's new form (named Judith in credits), literally emerging from a painting hanging in the office of Stanley's father was inspired by the works of Amedeo Modigliani.


For the record, example of elongated neck and deformed face is Hanka Zborowska.

Influence can also be seen in Andy Muschietti's Mama.
M.C. Escher

Who doesn't admire this guy?

A rhetorical question I know.

Inception vs Ascending and Descending


Labyrinth and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child

 
Relativity
Cheating slightly.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
Brian Yuzna's cult horror classic Society was one sick fucking puppy.

For the creation of infamous shunting sequence, Screaming Mad George clearly had the surreal genius of Salvador Dali in mind.
Namely.

Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War) and Autmnal Cannibalism


One more.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Concept of T-1000's Pretzel Man appears to have Dali written all over it.
You'd be a brush short of a pallet to miss the final part.
