If you loved Men in Black, try Wild Wild West

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Wild Wild West has roughly 4.1× fewer votes than Men in Black — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Comedy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Men in Black, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Wild Wild West is

Washington D.C. summer, a presidential train whistle blows, a prosthetic leg gleams. A legless villain schemes, two mismatched heroes team up, gadgets and guns at the ready. Barry Sonnenfeld makes a mess of the Wild West.
