FAQ
The Full Drama List: Questions & Answers
How the 11,537 ranked drama films on this list are ordered, why the other 82,519 are not ranked and how to narrow the list down.
How is the full list of drama movies ranked?
Best first. Ranked by Echo Score; 7,530 of these 11,537 films have none (released before 2017, when Echo Scores start) and are ranked by a blend of their Metascore and IMDb/Letterboxd user ratings. The Godfather (1972) is #1, ahead of Casablanca (1943). A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes.
The drama ranking Why are only 11,537 of the 94,056 drama films ranked?
A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes; shorts, films with too few ratings and re-release records stay off the ranking, which leaves 82,519 drama films unranked. They are still on the site: sort the list by newest, oldest or title A–Z to reach them. The ranked pages stop at the top 4,800; a decade, year or language filter reaches every ranked film.
How do I filter drama movies by decade or language?
Use the filters above the list: a decade or year, an original language, or only films with a plot summary, the ending explained or an after-credits scene; the sort switches between rating, release date, box office, budget and title. The 2010s have the most ranked drama films (4,055), then the 2020s (2,770). Outside English, French (6,086 films) and Spanish (5,697 films) have the most drama films.
