Films like Loafing and Camouflage.

Loafing and Camouflage (1984) reads as Warm, kinetic, measured comedy / army, grounded 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.
