What's the best drama film you've ever seen?

To Kill a Mockingbird may not be the best, but it’s way up there in my book. It would be a great film to watch with your friends.

@janbb Great film for any teenager to watch.

The Girl With the Pearl Earring is great. An amazing thing about the movie that often gets missed is that every time you stop the film, you get a visual that is the equivalent of a masterpiece painting. The story is wonderful, the visuals moreso.

@janbb Is there a new version of that movie or are you talking about the one with Gregory Peck? I’ve never seen it, but would like to.

Oh – the Gregory Peck one. I would die if they made a remake of it!

There was an amazing movie I saw called “Un Buen Hombre”... but it’s only shown in Spain so that wouldn’t work out so well. ____

All under 17? Try Clueless, Ferris Buellar’s Day Off (there’s profanity, though), Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice (the original/best with Colin Firth).

Flight of the Phoenix- The original (Jimmy Stewart) version.

Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, as already mentioned, The Diving Bell & The Butterfly is an incredible film, but you’ll have to check the age out. I’m not entirely sure if it’s suitable

Merchant Ivory films are always amazing.

Precious, I thought it was really good.

I just recently saw Gran Torino . It was an Amazing movie.

In the Valley of Elah was a wonderful look at the aftereffects of the Iraq war on soldiers.

The Shawshank Redemption
The Dead Zone (movie not television series)

The Searchers with John Wayne.
Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood is a little better, but rated R.

Shawshank Redemption. Great movie

I must say the rated R cap makes this very difficult!

Empire of the Sun was awesome… I loved that movie when I was little. I think it was the first movie Christian Bale played in, it also stared Malkovich Malkovich.. Also that movie Shine was good.

When in Rome is the best romantic movie which I have ever seen. It is very entertaining and delightful. I loved this movie a lot. I watched it with my friends on theater and trust me we enjoyed this movie a lot.
