Greatest Drama Movies of All-time

Drama with a Dash of Action

S.Port
Top ten drama Movies

1. Godfather Series
Well this to me obviously needs no introduction. What has been in a constant battle for the number one movie of all-time with Citizen Cane, it seems the Godfather Is a classic on everyone's list. Many have different opinions on witch one is the best, but all of them were memorable. Francis Ford Coppoloa has the first truly timeless gangster movie.

2. Citizen Cane
The other half of the greatest movie ever made. Citizen Cane is sometimes second because of its un-modern stature. We all can agree director Orson Wells has no problem getting the attention of an entire country with threats of alien attacks, but to make a film almost 70 years ago that still sells big numbers means he is a legend.

3.12 Angry Men
Well, at the start of the movie student is board out of their minds. "Why do we have to watch this?" is what they are all thinking. But soon after they understand the plot, the problem, and see the magnificent acting then they are quite till the end. This movie still amazes all crowds.

4. To Kill a Mocking Bird
Another school movie, but this one isn't taken for granted. Everyone is amazed by a sad story as this one. An instant classic form the time it was completed, To Kill A Mocking Bird trills it's audience with it's realistic problems that is no secret that still happens today.

5.Scarface
No surprise to this. Tony Montana is a symbol of excellent drama. Through his struggle to reach total wealth he grows through life struggles with family, friends, Castro, Wife, Boss, and an endless amount of suspense. The thing with Tony is that he tends to find drama for himself, but handles it with a legendary force.

6. A Few Good Men
Home of one of the most overuse lines in film today, I'm not going to say it but it was used for a good reason. This movie was suspenseful not because of SFX, or the tense movie score, or some crazy plot but because it just has good acting. Other Actor can learn a lot from this movie.

7. Goodfellas
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. This man is good as we all know. From having gigs on three spots of this list, he is one of the best-dramatized actors of our time. That's why it is so funny to see him in comedies. But the best cast in this movie goes to the never disappointing performance of Ray Liotta. This movie surrounded his amazing talent.

8. Heat
Ahh Heat, A truly overlooked masterpiece. Staring a cast of superstars headed by two legends of drama Al Pacino, and Robert Deniro. Michael Mann has a great depiction of two men who were completely different, put together in one movie. The downfall and success of both are displayed in a unique fashion that hasn't been duplicated since 2007's American Gangster staring Denzel Washington, and Russell Crowe.

9. Rebound: The Legend of Earl "the goat" Manigault
The most underrated movies on the list, Don Cheadle play's Earl Manigault. This is his second big time movie were he doesn't disappoint. Incredible realistic suspense, I would say this is director Eriq La Salle's best film.

10. The Departed
Hey! There are new movies with quality after all. The departed was a genius films with twist and gut wrenching turns that never get old. Martin Scorsese is a master mind at grabbing your attention, but this movie was great because of the casting. Matt Damon was a poster boy for justice. Well, he looked that way. Jack Nicholson brought an odd feel to the storyline. Mark Wahlburg had a handful of appearances that were all memorable. But the crown goes to Leonardo DiCaprio for his stellar involvement.
