You may want to take these with a bushel of salt, but, there is an element of realism in each, so, divided by century, here are . . .

14th--The Reckoning
15th--The Messenger
-------Romeo and Juliet (1968)
16th--Lady Jane
17th--The 3 Musketeers (1970)
-------The 4 Musketeers
18th--Barry Lyndon
-------The Bounty
-------Brotherhood of the Wolf
19th--Glory
-------Shane
20th--2 Brothers
-------Lair of the White Worm

And while the last is exaggerated for comedic affect, it still has its moments of realism.

I thought ACROSS 110TH STREET felt real. It looks like the Bronx when I lived there. Only it was worse when I was there in '79- '80. It was all burnt down rubble. Like a war zone.

Fatal Attraction shows an extreme, but it's surprising how much of this goes on. Jealous rages, smashing household items, verbal abuse, suicide threats and partial attempts. And it can escalate to murder or attempted murder.

Goin' Down the Road (1970) - Two friends from a depressed rural area move to the big city looking for a better life but end up stuck in a series of low-paying dead end jobs. If a plot like this isn't realistic then I don't know what is.

I'd never heard of this, but it sounds depressing and compelling. Works that end up as being listed as culturally significant always grab my attention.

Edited to add: The original director made a sequel 40 years after with much of the same cast!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_the_Road_Again

This seems a bit like that song Taxi by Harry Chapin, a poignant story of a taxi driver who meets someone he used to know a long time ago.

and years later, Harry Chapin wrote follow up song called Sequel.

    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.
