The Rain Index

Sorted by what kind of rain it is, because rain in a thriller and rain in a love story are not the same rain at all.

Film	Rain	What it's doing
Blade Runner1982	Perpetual	It never stops raining. Not once, the whole film. A lot of us fell for wet neon streets here and never got over it.
Rashomon1950	Shelter	The whole story gets told by men waiting out a downpour under a broken gate. The rain is the room.
In the Mood for Love2000	Longing	Two people keep almost saying it, and the rain keeps giving them a reason to stay in the doorway a bit longer.
Singin' in the Rain1952	Joy	The only correct response to a puddle. Filmed once and never improved on.
Se7en1995	Dread	Rain the whole way through, and the moment it clears you know something terrible is coming.
My Neighbor Totoro1988	Comfort	The bus stop. An umbrella, a puddle, and ninety of the most reassuring seconds in animation.
Memories of Murder2003	Omen	Rain shows up before every killing. The weather is in on it.
The Shawshank Redemption1994	Release	One scene, arms out in the rain, and no words needed at all.
Seven Samurai1954	Chaos	The final fight, in mud, in pouring rain. Nobody has filmed weather this well since.
Do the Right Thing1989	Absent	The opposite pick. A whole film about heat with no rain to break it, and you feel every minute.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo2011	Cold	Sleet and wet Swedish dark. Nobody in this film has been properly warm in years.
Rain Man1988	In name only	Almost no rain. Listed so nobody has to ask.
