Movie night! What is your favorite drama?
Mine is Jean de Florette (1986) 
Most people I meet have never heard of it and I love showing it to them. Must have watched it 15 times now.
I am in the mood for something amazing to watch, suggestions?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.A non-Tarantino film in my personal top five is "Gattaca," a drama by Andrew Niccol. Set in an indeterminate, somewhat dystopian future, a young man fights to pursue his dreams in a society where most people have been genetically engineered. Fabulous retro-futuristic art direction and outstanding performances from Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Jude Law, and Tony Shalhoub.

Another one would be, 'Delicatessen'...

I love both Jean de Florette and the sequel, Manon of the Spring. Manon is the daughter of Jean de Florette, and she gets her revenge.

Thanks for posting this. I just put in a request for these from the library.
Probably an old Paul Newman movie that I saw in my youth called Cool Hand Luke....and the line that has always stuck in my mind and so relatable to me at the time...."What we have here is a failure to communicate".

"Dear Boys: Playin' it cool. Luke." My sons middle name is Luke, I am familiar with the movie! LOL
Great movie; studied it in film class during my college years.
One of my all time favs. Fav line is " I wish you'd quit being so good to me, Captain".
Cool Hand Luke!!!!!

My son's middle name is Luke, I have seen it 
Haven't watched it with him yet however, time to find my dvd so we can watch it together.
Saturday night is all about cheesy Sci Fi on Svengoolie. Although tonight is a good movie, The Blob. The real one with Steve McQueen.

I remember the old Blob movie but I didn't think Steve was in it. Old Harvey Mushman (his fake name used to enter a motorcycle race without anyone knowing it was him) is my hero. Now let's see if I can find this on youtube or a streaming service.
Oh yes and Anita Corseult, not sure of the spelling, Helen Crump from Mayberry.
The Lion in Winter. My favorite movie of any type.

I was watching that a couple years back and almost didn't recognize Danny Devito! He was so young and wacky in that film. Epic flick.
In my DVD's for sure...."
One of my favorites, which is a silent film, is Metropolis.

You MUST watch Manon of the spring! It completes the story. Most dvd's you buy have both movies, just flip the disc over and watch the conclusion of the amazing story.
A film that made a huge impression on me was 'Three Colours: Blue'.
I caught it by accident and was hypnotised. I couldn't watch it again because it's too depressing, but various scenes, like the scene where an old woman struggles to put a bottle in a bottle bank stayed with me.

Is this the 3 part movie Blue, White, Red? Can't think of the director's name, he's French. Each movie was interconnected in a way and Juliet Binoche was in them
Yes. You're right. I didn't like the other two films. The 'Blue' one stands out. I don't think Juliet Binoche is in the other two films.
Very art house looking. The musical score, even in the clips of the movie on youtube are so dramatic. Added to my list, thanks!
