Movies have always been a way humans tend to connect to an alternate universe, whether fictional or nonfictional. Some come with series of great lessons to teach, while others depending on the genre, can make you laugh, cry and want to love.
That notwithstanding, I'll be taking you guys on a trip to my top 10 movies (special picks). And I think they have one thing in common, they are Drama genre-centered movies. Here we go!
Before I go on I would love to sincerely appreciate @belenguerra & @fendit for this opportunity.
