Films like Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) reads as Cosy, breathless, gentle universal / andrews, inventive 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.
