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 Intern (2015), Society of the Snow (2023) and 50/50 (2011). All three share Green Book's warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Three Men and a Leg (1997).
