My favorite dramatic movie is FIVE EASY PIECES.  Quite a downer, too.

Quite a lot of Douglas Sirk's 1950's movies like "Imitation Of Life", "Magnificent Obsession" and "Written On The Wind" would certainly count.

Some that jump to mind are The Seventh Seal (1957), Casablanca (1942) and Citizen Kane (1941).

Lagomorphs: menace or underutilized resource?

You want drama? You want a downer movie? Try Gilliam's Tideland. It's a very good, well-made movie, but it took me several days to process it and get over it.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
