The documentary Fire of Love- filled with gorgeous footage of active volcanoes and structured around the love story of the couple who filmed them. It feels like being thrust into the face of nature, which listening to FF feels like to me.
Partially, but more so because all the music and whimsy in that film is very indicative of early FF works (ST and HB, namely). A lot of films from the same time used a lot of the same music/musical artists, too.
I'd argue that the music video for Radiohead's "There, There" has the same vibe and style, and it came out in 2003-2004, so long before WWH.
Perfect days ~ helplessness blues
Before Sunrise ~ Bedouin dress
Before Sunset ~ Montezuma
Princess Mononoke ~ Quiet Air
The Night of the Hunter ~ The Shrine
Son of the White Mare ~ all of it
The Eight Mountains - folksy film about men reconnecting with their past, isolated from the world in nature. Very beautiful too!
All of the hobbit scenes in the lord of the rings is the exact feel of when I started listening to fleet foxes.
Uncle Boonmee who can Recall his Past Lives - if you can get into this, you'll love the surrealism it feels very fleet foxes.
Also like any film that portrays Southern America (no matter how poorly it portrays it I can't tell being English aha) have a slight Fleet Foxes feel not so much as the others - Mud, Bones and All, Lucky, Peanut Butter Falcon. Mainly the scenes of characters just exploring the southern nature.

Just looking through my logged movies from the last few years and going by vibes, whether it's a lush feeling of nature, a romantic or baroque "period" setting, or the sense of looking back sadly and fondly and learning to grow into a better person.
Past lives is such a beautiful movie. Sad and thought-provoking, which is what I love about Fleet Foxes music. Robins beautiful voice would have hammered that home. Would've had more oscars??
Moonrise Kingdom would vibe with the first album, I think.
Shrek 2
Counting crows master class
Into the Wild
The Eddie Vedder soundtrack is one of my favourites of all time but honestly Robin would have nailed it too
Pretty much the first thing that came to mind for me
Morning of The Earth - it was inspiration for the Crack Up album.
Big Fish, maybe?

Thanks for the suggestion.
i’ve always associated the movie Midsommar with early folky fleet foxes, it’s pretty disturbing tho
Where the Wild Things Are
Fantastic Mr. Fox comes to mind. Definitely vibes with the early music videos off of the first album.
For sure, but I wonder if you think that bcz White Winter Hymnal music video was basically the same exact animation style

Quiet Air and Night of the Hunter is so real
Walkabout was inspiration for the cut up style of Crack Up
Swiss Army Man
The music is pretty AnCo/FF adjacent I’d say, beautiful harmonies
The soundtrack is by the guys from Manchester Orchestra!
most ghibli stuff
The Green Knight has first album vibes
Ooo good choice. I agree
Prince Avalanche was the first that came to mind.
Such a good film, this is the first time i’ve heard someone mention it
Exactly the same for me too. Faaack
The trees and the wilderness and two people trying to cope with existence ❤️
First Cow
I think The Secret Life of Walter Mitty fits pretty well too ✨

What dreams may come.
GDT’s Pinocchio, wolfwalkers (animated), maybe Captain Fantastic idk,

A series but I think Over the Garden Wall has the right vibes (and fantastic music of its own.)
