10 must watch spellbinding drama movies for your quarantine days

These days the attack of novel Covid-19 has forced us to spend most of our time at home. The isolation period leaves us with very limited options of entertainment as they wear out after sometime and the only option we are left with is to switch to our streaming sites and look out for perfect flicks.  Seeing thousands of movies and series annoys a person. Here I come into the picture. I (known for my weirdly good taste) am going to recommend you some exceptionally good movies which are going to enthrall you from the beginning to climax. Trust me not even a single movie will disappoint you. Here is the list:

The Irishman 

Martin Scorsese helped codify the gangster genre with films like Goodfellas and Casino, and now he’s returning to the genre with The Irishman, a film that plays many of the same notes as earlier gangster stories, but in a minor key. Based on historical events, the film follows Frank eventually doing jobs for crime boss Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci).

Dolemite is My Name

Eddie Murphy returned in unusual but glorious style. In Dolemite is My Name, Murphy plays Rudy Ray Moore, a washed-up musician who completely transformed himself into the ’70s character Dolemite, becoming a cult star in the process. This is more provocative than your average Eddie Murphy comedy and sees one of the world’s most beloved comics capably take on one of his most nuanced, dramatic, although still hilarious roles ever.

Burning 

Burning is an intense psychological thriller, one that touches on issues of masculinity, economic decline, and even international politics.

Jaded writing major Lee Jong-su (Yoo Ah-in) runs into a woman he grew up with, Shin Hae-mi (Jeon Jong-seo) after working odd jobs while struggling to come up with an idea for a novel.

Roma

Roma follows Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), a maid working in the household of a wealthy doctor, Antonio (Fernando Grediaga) and his wife, Sofia (Marina de Tavira). Cleo cleans the house, tends to the children, and keeps the household running as Antonio and Sofia’s marriage strains. Cleo is the type of character typically relegated to the background of stories like this, but Cuaron makes her the focus, depicting her daily labor and struggles with a surprise pregnancy and unreliable lover. It’s a beautiful film, delicately composed and shot in stark black and white.

Mudbound

True to its name, Mudbound wades through the muck of racism and poverty, examining two families, one white, one black, living on a farm in 1940s Mississippi. The farm’s owners are the McAllans, who move there after Henry (Jason Clarke) buys the land. Along with his wife, Laura (Carey Mulligan); and viciously racist father, Pappy (Jonathan Banks), the McCallans work the land with the help of black sharecroppers, Hap (Rob Morgan) and Florence Jackson (Mary J. Blige).

The Meyerowitz Stories

Noah Baumbach delivers yet another witty, intimate drama with The Meyerowitz Stories, which follows a dysfunctional family who, when reunited for the first time in a while, try to hash out their differences. The head of the family tree is Harold Meyerowitz (Dustin Hoffman), a once-great sculptor now spending old age growling about everything. His children — Danny (Adam Sandler), Matthew (Ben Stiller), and Jean (Elizabeth Marvel) — all live in their father’s shadow, and all carry long-buried burdens, and they struggle to find value in their own careers.

A Serious Man

The comedy drama may sound depressing, and it is, but it’s also a shockingly funny, tragicomic exploration of human suffering in a small corner of the uncaring universe.

Moonlight

This film puts the ‘BEAU’ in ‘beautiful’. It follows the story of a young man growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami, and how realizing his sexuality weighs down his relationships with people, and affects his everyday life. Moonlight is a touching award-winner with a soundtrack that will surprise you — its use of ‘chopped and screwed’ music is unique .

Get Out

You’ll be uncomfortable for the majority of this film. It’s unpredictable and insane, so don’t go into it acting like you know what’s about to happen, ’cause you don’t. With more twists and turns than a maze, just when you think you’ve got a handle on things you’ll realize pretty quickly that you just gotta let it take you on the ride that it is.

Vivarium

Vivarium is a creepy, stylized film about a young couple (played by Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots) who go to look at a house to buy, then suddenly realize they can’t seem to get away. They seem to be alone in their new neighborhood, filled with look-alike, rubber-stamp homes and then one day a baby shows up in a box. Eerie and surprising, Vivarium takes a common cinematic theme — “the suburbs will eat your soul” — and turns it into high-concept horror, anchored by great performances. It’s dirty, sinister, hair-raising, and thoroughly entertaining.
