"'Drama' is perhaps the broadest genre when it comes to art, films included. It's a descriptor that gets paired with plenty of other genres, and broadly applies to movies that aim to show the human condition in some way, usually through portraying realistic characters who are challenged by everyday - and often relatable - struggles, often with other people. Character-focused sci-fi or fantasy movies can still be considered dramas, as can comedies, if they have enough serious material (in turn becoming dramedies). So it's a very broad genre, and that makes ranking some of the greatest dramas in cinema history a difficult task, or even one that could cause some... drama. The following movies are all excellent examples of titles that belong within the category of drama films, even if some also bleed into other genres in certain ways. They are largely serious and often emotional films, and are ranked below, starting with the great and ending with the greatest." - collider.com
