Films like Horse Feathers.

Horse Feathers (1932) reads as Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy / musical, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
