Films like The Seven Year Itch.

The Seven Year Itch (1955) reads as Cosy, steady, gentle comedy / romance, 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.
