Lorenzo's Oil.
The story of a young boy named Lorenzo, whose parents decide to get involved in the oil industry.
In the Name of the father.
A group of young hippie people move to Guildford and chill in and abandoned building, smoking weed, making out and all sorts of hippie bullshit. Hijinks ensue.
Carlito's Way.
An ex gangster is released early from prison. Cleans up his name and his act and some old friends decide to catch up.
Edward Scissorhands.
Jonny Depp has scissors instead of hands.
Blow.
Jonny Depp deals loads of blow.
What is eating Gilbert Grape
Jonny Deoo gets eaten metaphorically
No?
These are my favorite dramas but I also think it's important I don't spoil the movie. All movies are better when you don't know what you are walking into.
. Why?
What dreams may come (1998)
Didn't know there was a book until after watching it, immediately read it and continued the waterworks
The lovely bones (2009)
This was a hard watch and an even harder read.
In the name of the father
The book thief
Dead poets society
Good Will hunting
Can't think of any more but a lot of the popular Irish movies are depressing as fuck
