The 5. 0 Best Drama Movies Of All Time. Of course every movie technically features some drama in it, but that doesn’t make it a drama per se. Wikipedia calls it a “film genre that depends mostly on in- depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes.” To us, that opens the door up for plot- heavy war movies and dialogue- filled mob movies, as well as biopics and the traditional stuffy drama that always seems to woo the Academy voters. Yes, some of those are actually good too. Drama is the heavyweight genre; no superheroes or laser guns allowed—no matter how great The Dark Knight was. They’re often based on excellent literary works or the lives of significant people, and the best ones leave you not only analyzing the film you just saw, but your own beliefs as well.

Chad L. Coleman (born September 6, 1974) is an American actor. He is best known for portraying Dennis "Cutty" Wise on the HBO crime drama series The Wire (2004–2008.

So with apologies to your mama, please, save the drama for us. We actually enjoy it. Here’s our list of the 5. The Godfather. Year: 1. Director: Francis Ford Coppola. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. To call The Godfather the granddaddy of all gangster films is like calling Michael Jordan one of the best Chicago Bulls.

Francis Ford Coppola works Mario Puzo’s mafia novel like a virtuoso, with the masterful Marlon Brando commanding the camera’s respect as Don Vito Corleone, and a fresh faced Al Pacino shining as he rises to power as Michael. It’s the ultimate peek inside the life of Mafia family, and all of the wickedness that comes with it. Boogie Nights. Year: 1. Director: Paul Thomas Anderson. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. From start to finish, Boogie Nights is almost always entertaining you each second.

In the talented hands of Paul Thomas Anderson, this porn industry tale crackles with intensity, laughs, tension, and a killer disco and pop soundtrack. Mark Walberg is solid as Dirk Diggler, but the supporting cast is crazy strong, with the likes of Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, William H. Macy, and John C. Reilly adding to the film’s depth.

On the Waterfront. Year: 1. 95. 4Director: Elia Kazan. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes“I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody…” Those famous lines from Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy, a former boxer- turned- longshoreman, are some of the most revered in Hollywood history. Elia Kazan’s masterpiece about corrupt union bosses not only has Brando’s legendary performance, but also the fascinating backstory involving Kazan’s testifying before the House Committee on Un- American Activities.

Angry Men. Year: 1. Director: Sidney Lumet. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. If anyone ever tells you a film is nothing if it doesn’t have axction, sit them dowen in front of 1. Angry Men. Director Sidney Lumet and screenwriter Reginald Rose put on an absolute clinic in terms of direction, dialogue, and depth—all taking place within a small room, as a jury decides the fate of a man facing a murder charge. Tense, thought- provoking, and the finest courtroom drama of them all. Casablanca. Year: 1.

Director: Michael Curtiz. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman light up the screen in this treasured classic that brings more suspense and tension than it’s usually remembered for. With the backdrop of World War II and the imminent Nazi threat, Bogart must fight through his feelings for Bergman while also trying to advance the cause of freedom. With sterling supporting performances and that intangible pizazz, Casablanca remains in the rarified air of Hollywood’s best. Schindler’s List.

Year: 1. 99. 3Director: Steven Spielberg. Showtime Full The Man Who Would Be King Online Free there. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. One does not just flip through the channels and watch Schindler’s List.

No, Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed historical drama brings with it a sense of dread, sorrow, and weight that makes it a viewing experience one can only handle every 1. Filmed in black & white, yet as disturbing as mainstream movies get, this tale of German businessman Oskar Schindler’s (Liam Neeson) efforts to save Jewish refugees from the Holocaust stands tall as a brilliantly made and deeply moving piece of art. Citizen Kane. Year: 1. Watch Third Star Online Mic. Director: Orson Welles. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i.

Tunes. Many film aficionados who are far more knowledgeable than us rank Citizen Kane as the greatest film of all time. We’ve seen it several times, and while we just can’t justify that lofty ranking on our terms, we do fully appreciate the level of mastery shown by star and first- time director Orson Welles. The film famously shows the rise and fall of Charles Foster Kane, a newspaper publishing tycoon whose story more than slightly resembles that of real- life magnate, William Randolph Hearst. A haunting tale that technically blazed new trails for moviemaking when the art form was still in its infancy.

The Shawshank Redemption. Year: 1. 99. 4Director: Frank Darabont. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. Shawshank is the Citizen Kane for Generation X. It’s ranked #1 on IMDb’s Top 2.

Stephen King’s novella gets treated with supreme grace by director Frank Darabont in this prison- bound tale of hope and redemption. In a marvelous career, this is Morgan Freeman’s finest hour, and Tim Robbins leaves it all on the floor as well. When you settle in for Shawshank, you do so knowing you will be both drained and rejuvenated by the end credits—a sign of a great dramatic film. The real crime: It only made $2. Saving Private Ryan. Year: 1. 99. 8Director: Steven Spielberg.

Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. Are there any 2. Saving Private Ryan? Steven Spielberg’s masterful depiction of the Omaha Beach landings is the greatest battle scene of all time, and this might be the greatest war movie of all time too.

Tom Hanks is excellent as the beleaguered Captain John H. Miller and is surrounded by an accomplished cast. It’s visceral, scary, and heartbreaking. Is there any movie that can inspire patriotism more than this? The Hurt Locker. Year: 2.

Director: Kathryn Bigelow. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. For a war that lasted more than twice as long as World War II, there aren’t many Iraq War movies (not counting non- fiction) that stand out. Perhaps that’ll change over time, but as of right now, The Hurt Locker is the definitive one. It’s full of furious tension and action.

But when it slows down, director Kathryn Bigelow’s Best Picture winner is still a riveting dramatic film, putting the viewer unnervingly close to the life of an Army bomb squad unit. Raging Bull. Year: 1. Director: Martin Scorcese. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i.

Tunes. Pretty much anytime we hear about an actor putting their body through hell for a role, we think of the definitive example: Robert De Niro in Raging Bull. De Niro famously gained 6.

Jake La. Motta after previously being tight and toned to portray the former middleweight boxing champ. There’s not really a likable character in the film, but De Niro’s legendary performance under Martin Scorcese makes it crackle.

Milk. Year: 1. 97. Director: Gus Van Sant. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i.

Tunes. It’s barely heard of today, so imagine the chutzpah it took to run for office in 1. Milk tells the pioneering and tragic story of Harvey Milk and his fight for gay rights. Sean Penn nails it in the lead role, there’s a scene- stealing performance by Josh Brolin, and given the film’s 2.

A Beautiful Mind. Year: 2. 00. 1Director: Ron Howard. Purchase: Amazon DVD Amazon Download i. Tunes. OK, so it appears the story of the real- life John Forbes Nash Jr., a mathematical genius who suffers from schizophrenia, varies significantly from what screenwriter Akiva Goldsman came up with for A Beautiful Mind, but we can’t deny the emotional power that this film delivers. That enormous plot twist hit us hard the first time, and Russell Crowe does a great job portraying a difficult subject. Ron Howard’s finest behind the lens.

Life is Beautiful. Year: 1. 99. 7Director: Roberto Benigni.
