Films like Our Hospitality.

Our Hospitality (1923) reads as Cosy, kinetic, measured comedy / silent, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
