Top 10 Drama movies

Post Reply New Topic

I've picked out 10 drama movies that i find to be the greatest I've seen within the genre, here they are (in random order):

1. The Machinist (2004)



2. The Boy In The Striped Pajamas (2008)



3. Schindler's List (1993)



4. Lars And The Real Girl (2007)



5. Sarah's Key (2010)



6. Gran Torino (2008



7. The Pianist (2002)



8. Melancholia (2011)



9. Forrest Gump (1994)

10. American History X (1998)

- What's your fav's?

Drama-wise, my favourite films are:
Amadeus
Jean deFlorette
Manon of the Spring
Casablanca
M
Double Indemnity
The Search
Lawrence of Arabia

I always a bit uncertain with whether a film is a drama or a thriller or an action movie so I'm not 100% happy that this is my definite top 10 drama list, but (in no particular order) my selection would be:

The Man Who Wasn’t There
Drive
Taxi Driver
The Edukators
The Sweet Hereafter
Oldboy
Warrior
City of God
Another Earth
Swimming with Sharks

Thanks
I've always preferred movies and as long as you go looking there are plenty of good movies to find. There were quite a few from your list that I really enjoyed, but as I started to do my list I ended up with about 30 so had to do some very harsh cutting down! Particularly Gran Torino and Lars and the Real Girl, the latter really just missed as I already had one Ryan Gosling film on the list and I decided to do a wide mix on my list. (I also cut Raging Bull as I think Taxi Driver is just the better of the two!)
