Top film lists

819 genre lists, each ranked by how strongly its films carry the genre’s measured visual signature — the objects, lighting and framing that actually recur — rather than by box office or vote. Every figure is a ratio against the whole catalogue, with the sample size stated.

The number beside each list is how many films it ranks. Every list is built from the same index — every frame tagged for lighting, lens, shot size, colour and the objects visible in it.

Questions

How are these film lists ranked?

By how strongly each film carries the measured look of its theme — the objects, lighting and framing that recur across its frames — not by box office or votes. Every entry shows real stills.

What is FrameThrower?

FrameThrower is a searchable library of about 410,000 film stills from 5,490 films, plus an anime library — every frame tagged by lighting, lens, shot size, colour and mood. It is best for filmmakers, cinematographers, ad creatives and animators building lookbooks, mood boards and shot lists.

Is FrameThrower free?

Yes. The free plan includes 10 searches a day and 5 full-size downloads a week. Pro is $14 a month or $84 a year ($7 a month) with unlimited searches and downloads.

How do I search it?

Describe the shot in plain words ("rain on a car window at night"), search by image, or by colour. Filters narrow by shot size, lighting, lens, era and genre; an API and MCP server let tools and agents search it too.
