The best drama movie is never the same thing. Some mix comedy and heartbreak, romance and adversity, or action and humanity. They can help you escape or open your eyes to a truth that you have never experienced. Best of all, do both.

That being said, here's a list of 63 of the best dramatic movies available right now. From "Black Swan," a gritty exploration of a ballet scholar's battle with mental illness, marvellously led by Natalie Portman, to Bong Joon-ho's extraordinary "Parasite," which blends comedy and horror in a stunning film about southern class warfare, Sweeping South Korea at the 2019 Academy Awards, there's no doubt this list will have something to make you laugh, cry and think about.

In minas (2020).

Minari, an Oscar-nominated film about a family from Korea pursuing their dreams in the American South, is both moving and heartbreaking. "The film proves that it's not just the KoreAn-American experience, the AsiAn-American experience, or even the entire immigrant experience," Glamour contributor Deanna Pai wrote in her review. "Rather, it's about how outsiders find homes among each other -- husbands and wives, farmers and farm workers, grandmothers and grandchildren."

Black swan (2010).

Natalie Portman won an Oscar for her portrayal of Nina, a ballerina who becomes increasingly unhinged as she competes with Lily (Mila Kunis) for the lead role in Swan Lake. We don't want to give too much away, but if you've seen any other work by director Darren Aronofsky, you know you're going through some dark psychological twists.

Young Woman with A Future (2020)

The promising young woman is unlike any revenge story you've ever seen. As director and writer Emerald Fennell wrote in an article for Glamour, "I've been thinking about the revenge genre and how I haven't seen a woman's revenge movie that basically isn't a man in a dress."

Gone Girl (2014)

Rosamund Pike brought the cool eeriness of Amy, the central character in Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl," to this adaptation. Amy disappeared, and soon everyone began to suspect her husband, Nick Dunn, who seemed too indifferent to the whole situation. But a crazy turn takes things to a whole different place.

Little Women (2019)

Greta Gerwig added tons of new energy to her version of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, giving the March sisters a touch of modernity and a carefree quality. The casting plays a huge role in how good this adaptation is too: Saoirse Ronan's take on Jo is lively and fiercely independent, and Florence Pugh brings passion and sensitivity to Amy.
