This is evident in their second studio album, [[Wild World (Bastille album)|''Wild World'']], and their [[Other People's Heartache]] mixtapes, which incorporate audio clips from various sources, including television, film, and even a [[United States Department of Justice]] informational video.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chicago |first=Julia Greene, Columbia College |date=2020-09-01 |title=Spoken Word Samples on Bastille's 'Wild World' Bring the Past Into the Present |url=https://studybreaks.com/culture/sounds/wild-world-samples/ |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=Study Breaks |language=en-us}}</ref> Smith's affinity for film stems from his upbringing, where he viewed it as his primary obsession. He has mentioned that incorporating samples from movies into their songs was a natural progression for the band, starting with their first mixtape, "Other People's Heartache."  In an article published by music magazine [[The Line of Best Fit]], Smith writes: "Our mixtapes started life with a cover that we used to play of “[[What Would You Do? (City High song)|What Would You Do?]]” by [[City High]], back when we only had about six songs we could play live. We needed something to fill out the set and it was a song that I remembered affectionately from when I was a kid. Whenever we played it people would find themselves singing along and trying to figure out where they knew it from".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dan Smith from Bastille writes about his obsession with cinema |url=https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/longread/bastilles-dan-smith-the-movie-geek |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=The Line of Best Fit |language=en-US}}</ref>

Another large influence on the band's earlier works was director [[David Lynch]]. For instance, the penultimate track on Bastille's album ''[[Bad Blood (Bastille album)|Bad Blood]]'', titled "[[Laura Palmer (song)|Laura Palmer]]", pays tribute to the tragic prom queen from Lynch's [[Twin Peaks]]. The album's cover, featuring Dan Smith caught in a car's headlights on a nocturnal country road, also exudes a Lynchian feel.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nolan |first=Paul |title=Hot Press meets Bastille |url=https://www.hotpress.com/music/hot-press-meets-bastille-9609861 |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=Hotpress}}</ref> Moreover, another single, "Falling", from their mixtape ''[[Other People's Heartache]]'', integrates parts of the song [[Julee Cruise|"Falling" by Julee Cruise]], known as the theme song for ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', mixed with their own song "Laura Palmer". In fact, [[Rob da Bank|Rob Da Bank]], who was releasing Lynch's second album, approached Smith to do a remix of one of Lynch's songs.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPsIKqe325M |title=David Lynch - 'Are You Sure' (Bastille Remix) |language=en |access-date=2024-05-10 |via=www.youtube.com}}</ref> Lynch's positive reception of the remix further solidified their connection, culminating in a personal invitation to his house for coffee. This encounter left a lasting impression on Smith, as he described Lynch as "overwhelmingly kind, funny, and inquisitive" in an article published on Redbull's website.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-01-11 |title=Find out why Bastille's Dan Smith is so inspired by Twin Peaks director David Lynch. |url=https://www.redbull.com/in-en/bastille-frontman-dan-smith-talks-about-his-hero-david-lynch |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=Red Bull |language=en}}</ref>

Bastille was also one of the artists involved in "Radio 1 Rescores Drive," a collaborative initiative spearheaded by DJ and radio presenter [[Zane Lowe]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Barlow |first=Eve |date=2014-10-29 |title='Drive' director says working on Radio 1's re-scored version of the movie was 'very sexual' |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/zane-lowe-2-1232471 |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=NME |language=en-GB}}</ref> The band contributed "The Driver" to the soundtrack for the 2011 film ''[[Drive (2011 film)|Drive]]'' starring [[Ryan Gosling]], and the song was included on Bastille's own mixtape, ''[[VS. (Other People's Heartache, Pt. III)]]''.

Arguably, the band's most high-profile collaboration with an important figure from the movie industry came in the form of their single "Pompeii MMXXIII", alongside [[Hans Zimmer|Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer]], transforming Bastille's chart-topping "[[Pompeii (song)|Pompeii]]" into an almost a cappella version reminiscent of Zimmer's iconic film soundtracks. Speaking about this collaboration, Smith expressed a profound sense of validation and honor to work alongside a revered figure like Zimmer, stating, “It does feel like we have come full circle in a way. So many of the songs we have, particularly on Bad Blood, have strings or loads of choir parts which I sang. So to get to a point where we can do this version with a real choir and orchestra and with someone like Zimmer – who is responsible for so many huge cultural moments for me – is exciting and a privilege.” <ref>{{Cite web |last=Saeed |first=Saeed |date=2023-10-31 |title=Bastille singer Dan Smith reflects on 'exciting privilege' of working with Hans Zimmer |url=https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music-stage/2023/10/31/bastille-singer-dan-smith-reflects-on-exciting-privilege-of-working-with-hans-zimmer/ |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=The National |language=en}}</ref>

The band's repertoire also often includes covers and samples from a variety of artists. Examples include their rendition of "[[Killing Me Softly with His Song]]" by [[Roberta Flack]] in the Bad Blood X version of their album ''[[Bad Blood (Bastille album)|Bad Blood]]'', "[[Dancing in the Dark (Bruce Springsteen song)|Dancing in the Dark]]" by [[Bruce Springsteen]] for the edition "Give Me The Future + Dreams of the Past" of the studio album ''[[Give Me the Future]]'',<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Wood |first1=Sydney |last2=Bridges |first2=Lucy |date=2022-09-05 |title=Bastille releases lengthy album for diverse fans |url=https://dailyillini.com/featured/2022/09/05/bastille-album/ |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=The Daily Illini}}</ref> "[[Can't Fight This Feeling]]" by [[REO Speedwagon]] (featured in a Christmas advert for British department store John Lewis & Partners in 2019 <ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-11-14 |title=Who sings this year's John Lewis Christmas advert cover and what's the song? |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/john-lewis-christmas-advert-song-2019-cant-fight-this-feeling-dan-smith-bastille-watch-video-a9201821.html |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=The Independent |language=en}}</ref>), and "[[Basket Case (song)|Basket Case]]" by [[Green Day]] (released as a soundtrack for [[The Tick (2016 TV series)|''The Tick'' TV series]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bird |first=Jen |date=2017-08-22 |title=BASTILLE unveils "Basket Case" soundtrack to Amazon Prime series 'The Tick' • Red Light Management |url=https://www.redlightmanagement.com/bastille-unveils-basket-case-soundtrack-amazon-prime-series-tick/ |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=Red Light Management}}</ref>)

Frontman Dan Smith has cited as influences many artists including [[Kate Bush]], [[Amy Winehouse]], [[Lorde]], [[Christine and the Queens]], and [[the Cranberries]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC Radio 2 - Tracks Of My Years, Dan Smith |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0019j0y |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=BBC |language=en-GB}}</ref>  He has particularly highlighted [[Regina Spektor]] as an early influence on his songwriting. During an interview with [[MTV UK]], he shared: "When I first heard [[Us (Regina Spektor song)|'Us']] by Regina Spektor, it made me want to record and write songs. I thought the way she told this quite weird story with her words was amazing, and I liked how interesting and unique her voice was. I'm someone with quite a weird annoying voice, so that made me think, well, if she can do it, I can have a crack. [...] I thought the production was really beautiful, simple, on piano. [...] That made me think that this slightly weird, awkward teenager who could sort of play piano and sort of sing could start writing songs."<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxSVXnK-fyY |title=Dan From Bastille Discusses The First Time He Heard A Specific Regina Spektor Song {{!}} MTV Music |language=en |access-date=2024-05-10 |via=www.youtube.com}}</ref>
