Amélie: A quirky romance saturated in warm colors and lush sets - visually similar to The Shape of Water, but more grounded in the real world.
Creature from the Black Lagoon: The amphibious man at the center of The Shape of Water bears a great resemblance to this classic Universal Monster, and is one of the primary sources of inspiration.
The Lure: A horror flavored retelling of The Little Mermaid. More gruesome than The Shape of Water's romance, but similar in its treatment of music, color, and nautical romance.
The Red Shoes: Cited as an inspiration for the film, and a classic not to be missed (coincidentally, also similar to The Lure in that it is an adaptation of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale).
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg: The Shape of Water constantly references the works of Jacques Demy - start here, then try Donkey Skin.
