Films like Never on Sunday.

Never on Sunday (1960) reads as Cosy, kinetic, gentle classic / melina-mercouri, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, tender. 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.
