MindCrime Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 In this Top 10 special, we will be doing a non-music theme. We ask you to nominate two drama movies that you feel are classics or just overall great films. The same regular rules that go with the top 10s applies here. First week is for nominations, then the regular top 10 voting will go on for another week or until everybody has their votes in. Please let us have your nominations now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 is there any restrictions on what to call a 'drama'? historical drama, crime drama, etc? eg, I would have called Full Metal Jacket simply a 'war movie'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I have a separate category for "violent" movies planned, but I'm not going to restrict how anyone nominates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Is it just me? Or does Matt Damon look like Robin Williams, and Robin Williams vaguely resemble Matt Damon? I hate when they put their names on backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I just saw this one the other day and was blown away Frost/Nixon There's a reason this one is called the greatest movie ever made-Patriotism, romance, loyalty, love, friendship, hatred, Nazis, gambling, liquor, elegant clothes-this movie has it all- Casablanca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 It's pretty difficult not just to narrow it to what kind of drama, but also to nominate a drama that a lot of people have seen (i.e., no dramas outside of Hollywood?). Balls it! I'm gonna go with: Les Quatre Cents Coups ("The 400 Blows") http://www.criterion.com/films/151 花ã¨ã‚¢ãƒªã‚¹/Hana To Arisu ("Hana And Alice") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voBuMhb0L9Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I think this list is going to be quite difficult for me... there are a lot of films already nominated that I quite like, some are among my all time favourites - but on the other hand I don't know if I can vote for them, because I don't really consider them to be 'Dramas' in the first place (even though technically they might be one) ...and also I have to decide on a second nomination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
