How this list was built

Candidates come from the recommendation and similar-title data TMDB publishes for John Wick, merged and deduplicated. Each candidate is then re-ranked on genre overlap, shared TMDB keywords, shared director or cast members, and audience-rating confidence. Titles without a poster, a synopsis or enough votes to be a meaningful signal are dropped rather than padded in — which is why some pages show ten results and others twenty.
