Every film here carries twenty readings of how it actually lands — how dark, how tense, how warm, how playful. Pick one and you get the films closest to it on those readings, with the reason each one is there written underneath: a shared director, a shared subject, or simply that it feels the same. 14,293 films have a page. Below are the best-known dozen in each genre.
