Songfactor's Top 10 Movies {DRAMA}


MindCrime

Recommended Posts

I cannot think of another I'd like to nominate, because I'm much more of a comedy person. So when that rolls around, I'm armed for bear.

I did, however, really love the Movie Gilbert Grape.

So I'll with "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" as my second, and thanks to either MC or Farin, whichever one suggested it. :)

Apologies to the many that I could not vote for. I think many will qualify for other categories, so hopefully I'll be able to vote for them there. :P

Because they're not what you would classify as this type of drama?

Sorry, I'm too lazy to go through these posts.

yes, basically...

I just tried to think what kind of films I would expect when I'd read a list called "the Top 10 Dramas"

of course that's just my personal view/opinion :)

1. Tombstone (for Val Kilmer's performance alone)

2. Forrest Gump (of course!)

3. What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Johnny Depp Leonardo DiCaprio, and Juliette Lewis were magnifico!!

4. Fargo ~ dark humor's perfection

5. Gone With The Wind ~ only epic film I've watched over 5 times through its entirety

6. Dances With Wolves ~ Kevin Costner before he got full of himself

7. Short Cuts ~ loved the style of this one. I will now have to rent it again to reacquaint myself with it.

8. Shawshank Redemption ~ I would say for Morgan Freeman alone, but it was just a solid film all around.

9. Primal Fear ~ Love love love Edward Norton. Creepy.

10. Good Will Hunting ~ Matt Damon is worthy of watching on a bad day, but on the day this movie came about, he was outstanding.

Goodfellas (This beats out The Godfather because this one was true....sort of.)

Actually it was almost entirely true, other than the dates were wrong, Pesci's character was a lot younger in real life and they changed the names to avoid costs.
