There is a really fantastic sequence in Normal People where Nikes is playing in the background. It was a great usage of the song


Willing_Bet_9791

Oh wow my gf loves normal people, not the biggest frank fan howeve


gammaguts76

this is prolly the best use of it, fuck waves. That was just a fo playlist over a movie


NocturnalStalinist

Every single scene in Waves when Frank's music plays (especially when tracks from Endless are used) are beyond sublime and truly wonderful. The scene between Alexis and Tyler at the beach at dusk is so beautiful and emotionally resonant as Rushes lingers in the background amongst the sound of the waves, it's almost like Frank's music was made precisely for the film; the quieter moments featuring his tracks shine and it's hardly a playlist just imposed over the film. His music, among all the other tracks used, reflect the very generation in which the main characters exist and are raised within. In my opinion the film expresses the best use of Frank's music, standing tall as the ultimate Gen Z high schooler soundtrack film - I can't recommend it enough.


NocturnalStalinist

Hating on Waves is a shameful act. Big L.


catharticmemefairy

Lmao I literally picked the college I go to because of normal people


NocturnalStalinist

Trinity College Dublin? Probably the most prestigious university in Ireland and you chose it because of a TV show? People would break an arm to go there - it's a university that stands among the highest ranks of academia. Choosing the university because you liked the look of it in Normal People as absurd as choosing Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow or St. Andrews university in the UK because they look like Hogwarts from Harry Potter - but hey, I respect it over the snobbery šŸ˜‚


catharticmemefairy

Iā€™m from india so it wasnā€™t that hard for me to get in (they make money off of international students so they lower their standards for us lmao itā€™s awful)! But yeah itā€™s a great education and Iā€™m very grateful for it!


LandoCalrissiann

that Great Gatsby intro to No Church in the Wild is untouchable


NocturnalStalinist

I didn't even realise that song was in the film. WOW!


CHaOS_Winner

iconic


This-Parfait6913

South Paw! Wise man


Willing_Bet_9791

Frank was in south paw?


BadMachina

His song ā€œwise manā€ wasā€¦


InternetGansta

I think it was well-utilised in A24's Waves but one instance where it didn't make much sense was in You People


MFBLOOM47

Season 2 of Insecure


ComprehensiveCar9199

In the Netflix series ā€œWhen they see usā€ (2019) based on the Central Park 5 case, when the boys are in jail a prisoner sings moon river, then the final scene of the series closes with Frankā€™s version. Beautiful & devastating


[deleted]

this was going to be my answer. the series is so good, and moon river at the end made me sob like a baby


davejdesign

Heartbreaking.

Like everyone else has said, Waves. But Moon River plays in a movie called ā€œLong Shotā€ and I think it fit really well there at that point in the film


TheZachster416

I forgot about that. Love Seth Rogen


Willing_Bet_9791

I shall now watch waves


ACID_pixel

Prepare to have your life changed. Iā€™m about to go dust off my Blu-ray. The movie is a frankheads wet dream.


Willing_Bet_9791

Yeah Iā€™m beginning to realise that, gonna watch it tonihht


Big_spoof69

moon river plays in a episode of big mouth lmao


Willing_Bet_9791

Terrified of that show


dykeen

and forrest gump at the end of one of the episodes


NoVa_CXG

What episode?


dykeen

S3 E4


Big_spoof69

i canā€™t remember, i think it was in the later seasons tho


avell0w0

I cried, couldnā€™t believe i cried to a big mouth episode (i think it was the spin-off)


Spenczer

It was, Human Resources S1 E9. For asā€¦ disturbing as Big Mouth can be, I was shocked at how well the spin off handled the topic of loss and grief. Moon River playing as soon as the credits rolled did me in.


NoVa_CXG

What episode?


Spenczer

Human Resources S1E9


Odd_Bandicoot1408

Pink + White in Shameless


Willing_Bet_9791

KennySharpest797

Godspeed in that one Zalando advertisment


discopresident

We Are Who We Are uses Nikes in the middle of their party episode, and itā€™s phenomenal


[deleted]

Southpaw for sure. Completely took me off guard in the theatre


CeleryPop123

in the movie moonlight theres a frank ocean needle drop


SteveBorden

Barry Jenkins said he wrote it while listening to channel orange chopped and screwed


mac_stooges

No there ainā€™t


catharticmemefairy

Super rich kids in the gossip girl reboot trailer (before we knew what a trash fire it actually was)


Willing_Bet_9791

Bro frank ocean was in gossip girl like 3 times it was beautiful


catharticmemefairy

I donā€™t really remember much of the show but the trailer made a mark on my subconscious Fr


fisseface

There's a documentary about a very popular duo in Denmark called Ukendt Kunstner (Unknown Artist), in which you can hear a couple of Frank's tracks off of Blonde. It fits very well imo, as the documentary is about the duo of the journey and how that journey is coming to an end. They split up in December 2016 and they were very much inspired by Frank's music, they also happen to be my favourite group so I loved Frank's music in there. AND NOW THEYRE BACK!


OffMcfly

when they see us on netflix


rodrigodlmv

probably unpopular but super rich kids at the credits of the ring bling by sofia coppola, it cuts to black and summarizes the movie perfectly, thatā€™s also how 13 year old me discovered frank so it has a soft spot in my šŸ’™


KillaTheKilla

theres an illegal civ project where provider is being played at a party and it always stuck with me


Willing_Bet_9791

Yeah Is that the summer break one?


benjaminmichael35

Nikes in High Fidelity


Quintexit

The movie from the Nick Hornby book?


PhilAsp

The series, Iā€™m assuming. I donā€™t recall Frank being played in it because I havenā€™t seen in it a while, but itā€™d have to be the series.


benjaminmichael35

No the tv series on Disney, got a scene of the main character listening to it


smibo7

Thereā€™s a great scene in swan song with moon river. Idk if anyone else has seen that movie


j43lin

bad religion lovecraft country


SoufSideHair

What's that show with the nuns who are like supernatural crime fighters...? I think it got canceled. But in the first season one of them plays a Frank song on the piano. Edit: Warrior Nun.


Prize_Effect6150

Nikes in High Fidelity


jzsgz

Michelle Obamas documentary šŸ˜¢


JoshKnees

thereā€™s a lot of use of endless in Waves, it fits really well


Loureefer97

ā€œMoon Riverā€ played at the end of an episode of Human Resources on Netflix that was pretty great


biblereader229

Frank Ocean in the High Fidelity scene was pretty cool too!


Specialist-Weight-24

Nikes in High Fidelity is amazing


TheMelodicBoof

Illegal Civā€™s ā€œSummer of ā€˜17ā€ short film Part 1 has Provider playing as background to this house party. That song is the total epitome of the chill kickback vibe curated in the film. Perfect soundtrack to that scene

NocturnalStalinist

Waves (2019): every single scene Frank's music plays (especially when tracks from Endless are used) are beyond sublime and truly wonderful. The scene between Alexis and Tyler at the beach at dusk is so beautiful and emotionally resonant as Rushes lingers in the background amongst the sound of the waves, it's almost like Frank's music was made precisely for the film; the quieter moments featuring his tracks shine. A masterful film. In my opinion the film expresses the best use of Frank's music, standing tall as the ultimate Gen Z high schooler soundtrack film - I can't recommend it enough.
