Green Book poster

Movies that feel likeGreen Book (2018)

Tony Lip, a bouncer in 1962, is hired to drive pianist Don Shirley on a tour through the Deep South in the days when African Americans, forced to find alternate accommodations and services due to segregation laws below the Mason-Dixon Line, relied on a guide called The Negro Motorist Green Book.

If you loved Green Book, the closest films we have are The Favourite (2018), 50/50 (2011) and The Intouchables (2011). All three share Green Book's contemplative and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is An Honest Liar (2014).

Both land play and scale at once

The difference: Sits closer to documentary than Green Book does

An Honest Liar tells the incredible story of the world-famous magician, escape artist, and world-renowned enemy of deception, James 'The Amazing' Randi.
