I have a X100S and actually sold my Canon 5D kit to get a XH1 as I liked t he look and feel of the Fuji so much. I now also have a XE2 and while it’s great for street, the magic you are after is in the X100 series. There’s a definite film feel to images out the camera, and a magic quality that’s not present on the later ones.
try an older x100/s/t - they’re not too expensive now and you’ll see what everyone means by the magic!

I think your post perfectly demonstrates that the supposed “filmic” look is more about nostalgia for a particular camera or lens than anything to do with the sensor, given that your “magic” X100S shares exactly the same sensor and processor as the XE2 you dismiss in the same sentence.  Objectively the images from both are exactly the same, you just prefer the shooting experience and perhaps the lens of the X100S more.
