Movies that feel likeAmores Perros (2000)

A fatalistic car crash in Mexico city sets off a chain of events in the lives of three people: a supermodel, a young man wanting to run off with his sister-in-law, and a homeless man.

If you loved Amores Perros, the closest films we have are Open Your Eyes (1997), The Adjustment Bureau (2011) and The Unthinkable (2018). All three share Amores Perros' tense and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970).
