Movies that feel likePitch Perfect (2012)

College student Beca knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that's exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school. Thrust in among mean gals, nice gals and just plain weird gals, Beca finds that the only thing they have in common is how well they sing together. She takes the women of the group out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions.

If you loved Pitch Perfect, the closest films we have are You, the Living (2007), Bridesmaids (2011) and Yesterday (2019). All three share Pitch Perfect's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is A Mighty Wind (2003).

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

In the Swedish city of Lethe, people from different walks of life take part in a series of short, deadpan vignettes that rush past. Some are just seconds long, none longer than a couple of minutes. A young woman remembers a fantasy honeymoon with a rock guitarist. A man awakes from a dream about bomber planes. A businessman boasts about success while being robbed by a pickpocket, and so on. The absurdist collection is accompanied by Dixieland jazz and similar music.
