Movies that feel likeWho Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Toon star Roger is worried that his wife Jessica is playing pattycake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant to snoop on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead and Roger is the prime suspect.

If you loved Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the closest films we have are The Mask (1994), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) and Groundhog Day (1993). All three share Who Framed Roger Rabbit's dreamlike and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Used Cars (1980).
