* The original ''[[Dawn of the Dead (Filmfilm)|Dawn of the Dead]]'' used its mall setting to compare American consumers to zombies.
* ''[[Valley Girl (Filmfilm)|Valley Girl]]''.
* ''[[Fast Times Atat Ridgemont High]]''.
* Part of the plot of ''[[Eight Legged Freaks]]'' revolves around the mayor having a useless shopping mall built in the town. Part of the climax takes place in said mall.
* ''[[Bad Santa (Filmfilm)|Bad Santa]]'' is about a crooked [[Mall Santa]] and his [[Christmas Elves|elf assistant]] who rob malls every Christmas.

== [[Music]] ==
* The derisive term "mallcore" is often used to describe any genre of [[Heavy Metal (Music)|metal]] music (such as [[Nu-metal]], [[Metalcore]] and [[Deathcore]]) that is perceived as being "[[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|too mainstream]]." Whether this is a legitimate concern borne out of bad memories of [[Hair Metal]], or a case of elitism and snobbery, is [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|an argument best left for another article]].
* [[The Eighties|'80s]] pop star Tiffany was famous for her concert tours of shopping malls.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Both ''[[Dead Rising]]'' games are set primarily or partially in malls, as an [[Homage]] to [[Dawn of the Dead (Filmfilm)|George Romero]].
* The second stage of ''[[Monster Madness]]: Battle for Suburbia'' takes place in a mall, complete with a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Dawn of the Dead (Filmfilm)|Dawn of the Dead]]'':

* The "JAYSUUUNNN!!!" level in ''[[Heavy Rain]]''.
* The ''[[Left 4 Dead]] 2'' level "Dead Center" is partly set here.
* The mall is the unique building for the Americans in ''[[Civilization]] IV''.
* ''[[Dead Space 2 (Video Game)|Dead Space 2]]'' has the Concourse, a mall-like section of the Sprawl.
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* The website [http://www.deadmalls.com/ Deadmalls.com] is devoted to chronicling [[Real Life]] examples that have fallen on hard times.
* The [http://lonelymachines.org/mall-ninjas/ "mall ninja" thread] (which [[Poe's Law|may or may not be]] a [[Stealth Parody]] or a [[Troll]]) is the stereotypical "tough guy" mall rent-a-cop turned [[Up to Eleven]]. It has spawned a [[Memetic Mutation]] among gun enthusiasts, with the term "mall ninja" being used to describe people who buy guns, blades and "tactical" gear (especially of the [[Awesome but Impractical|"flashy, but useless"]] variety) simply to look [[Badass]].
* ''[[Mall Fight (Roleplay)|Mall Fight]]'' takes place in a magic mall that is big enough to be an alternate universe all its own. It has whatever store the Fighter's wish it to have, as well.
