Films like Driving Miss Daisy.

Driving Miss Daisy (1989) reads as Warm, measured, gentle comedy / drama, grounded in texture. Redemptive, 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.
