Drama is the genre where craft is most exposed — there's nowhere to hide, so the writing, direction and performance either hold or they don't.
There is nothing worse than picking the wrong movie for the mood. This curated list of drama films when you cant sleep takes that risk off the table. Every pick here is that are actually worth watching — tried, tested, and worth your time. Happy watching.
