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?

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.
One of my favorites, which is a silent film, is Metropolis.

I’m kinda embarrassed to admit it, but I really like Mona Lisa Smile.

Well it is on youtube so here goes nothing! 20 minutes in and I am watching heaven processing newly deceased people entering the pearly gates LOL... Actually it is strangely interesting so far.
Reminded me a bit of Defending Your Life. The color, acting, and special effects were solid for a movie over 70 years old. Thanks for the recommendation.
@robdowney Great director Emeric Pressburger. He did "The red shoes" but also Jack Cardiff cinematographer. whos works include "The African queen" "The Vikings" and "Rambo"
FYI trivia, the angel would not have a long wait to meet the author of that chess book. Alexander Alekhine died in 46
I love that film too. The scene with the boy playing a flute on a beach is so clever.
@Ellatynemouth Niven was always so watchable.
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.
