Who says real men don't cry? That a societal cop-out. Real men who don't cry have SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES usually.

And Dramas are NOT chick-flicks, you egghead. You don't think Star Wars isn't a major drama? That's one of its biggest components, i.e. "Space Opera"

My favorite dramas are Mr. Holland's Opus, all the Star Wars flicks, and Music of the Heart.

Yeah, it's called heart attacks. You heard of them? And YES, Star Wars is part drama. Ask the great GL, he CALLS it a "Space Opera."

Ok... what does not crying have to do with heart attacks?

and...

Space opera would be 'Fantasy'... thus, not true drama, in the sense of the genre...

actually... the only movie that was labeled 'drama' would be Episode 1...

Bottling emotions up inside you is very bad for your mental and physical health.

And Star Wars IS A DRAMA, I don't care what source you are quoting. I think some other people around here would agree with me.

Get back to topic.

Favorite dramas, anyone else?

I really don't put SW in the drama genre, because it is more lumped in a Sci-fi genre. Although there are some dramtic moments, it in itself is not a drama like what Loban is asking about.

I would have to say my favorite drama is Life as a House. If any of you have not seen this yet, you must check it out. Very well made movie. It also stars Hayden Christensen if you want another excuse to see it.

Ohh, and not all drama's are chick flicks. Just because they are intelligent movies and play on the heart doesn't make a movie a chick flick. Anyone who thinks that apparently has troubles with their sexuailty.

Hands down, Godfather is the best movie that I consider to be a drama.

If you want to consider the SW films as drama, then I think Top Gun should be right there too. Hey, I see you laughing! Don't laugh! We all know the great dramas involve human suffering, and Maverick suffered after Goose died!

Ummm, no haha.

And another Drama I like is Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea. And they got a nifty Continuing Story of Anne of Green Gables out too.

Yeah, chick flick. Just shut up, it's good stuff.

Hmmmm.... I'd have to say, "Ordinary People" and "Lorenzo's Oil" and "A Beautiful Mind" and "Erin Brockovitch," although I don't really know if the last one is really considered a drama.

And LO AND BEHOLD!! BOB!!! WE AGREE!!!! Star Wars is sci-fi adventure allllll the way, even though there are mildly dramatic components in it/them.

Space opera, by the way, tends to denote something "campy," not dramatic.

I somehow do not denote "opera" as anything campy. I think Wagner might take offense. But everyone seems to think I'm wrong, so point made.

I liked A Beautiful Mind myself.

Titantic and Pearl Harbor?

Your kidding me right? I thought they were "teh suq", but thats just me. I thought the acting was mediocre in both movies, and the scripts weren't really that impressive. I was ticked when Titanic won as many Oscars as it did.

A Beautiful Mind is a great movie. What's funny is that he is from the same area as my grandma's family, and she still has family from there. Guess what her maiden name was? Yup that is right, Nash. There is a very good possibilty that he is related to my line of Nash's. I find that pretty neat. Sooo if its true I could be a genius or a schizo...or both. Probably just a schizo though.

I loved Titanic when it came out. I saw it more times than I saw Episode 1 and 2 in theaters. Of course, since third grade I had had a real interest in the Titanic, and when the movie came out, it just made it real. I thought the script was very well written and the film was very well made. I didn't cry though, why would you cry at the movie when you know he'll end up dying?

The ship was sinking, he was in third class, that should tell you he's a dead man...

Bob pointed out that his favorite drama was Life As A House. I finally rented it, he's right, it's really good. It starts out strange, but it's really good. I never watch the same movie two days in a row, but I watched this yesterday and today. Go rent it!

ummm... Ok, i want to point out a few things i guess i been outa this thread for to long, first, yes loban, bottling your emotions is bad... trust me ive gone most of my known life keeping every hint of emotion to myself, its not a good thing, sometimes you do have to just let it out, i only cry when i need to, but i never go against myself when it has to be done, there are those moments when you just gotta hug someone and tell um how you feel, or you gonna die of stress.

an second, "opera" does NOT have to be drama, so starwars being a "space opera" does not mean its a drama, yes, its dramatic sometimes, woohoo...its also funny sometimes "comic-opera" right there... But then, star wars is just great in most aspects, so heh...
there, all aspects which eminated from my first post have been cleared.. i am no longer responsible for any actions within the confines of this thread.

This is one reason why I really dont like posting around this place other then for Role Playing. I know seriousness and maturity is a must in the world, but could somehow show a sense of silliness. Let it all hang out, we dont go on the internet to have serious replies to unserious statements. I just find it kinda mean...
