I like a few of these getting listed, but wouldn’t Rocky be considered a drama?
A personal favorite of mine is The Red Shoes (1948). I’m also a big Sidney Poitier fan and Heat of the Night is darn good.

A few others:
Joy Luck Club was a great look at Asian-American life
The Professional
Me Before You was special to me

I’ve never heard of “The Red Shoes.” The Criterion Collection film is on YouTube. I’m adding it to my watch list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Right now I’m watching “The Talk Of The Town” (1942) on YT starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Ronald Colman. It is a “sparkling gem from Hollywood’s Golden Age of Comedy, nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture.” (back when the Academy Awards were really something).

(I often split movies over two nights)

I always liked “E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind” for drama.

I also thought The Professional should have made the list as well as The Conversation with Gene Hackman.
