"It's been a big inspiration for what I try to do with Nine Inch Nails. Make you feel bad. The whole time." Trent Reznor picks his favourite films of all time

Trent Reznor.

Nine Inch Nails duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are now among the most respected, and most acclaimed, film soundtrack composers of the modern era, having won two Oscars (Best Original Score for 2010's The Social Network and 2020's Soul), in addition to a host of Baftas, Grammys, Golden Globe Awards and Emmy Awards for their impressive catalogue.

The pair's most recent collaboration is the score for A24's Queer, Italian film-maker Luca Guadagnino's romantic period drama set in 1950s Mexico City, in which Daniel Craig's character William Lee becomes infatuated with discharged US Navy serviceman Eugene Allerton, played by Drew Starkey.

At the film's premiere at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles on November 13, the pair were asked by Letterboxd to name their four favourite films of all time. Reznor nominated two undeniable classics - Martin Scorsese's 1976 masterpiece Taxi Driver and David Lynch's gloriously dark 1986 film Blue Velvet - plus a more recent selection, French director/screenwriter Julia Ducournau's 2021 body horror Titane.
