20 Hidden Drama Movie Gems You Can Watch On Netflix

Pure drama.

By Taylor Burns /

Perhaps Netflix's most sprawling category, the "Drama" section of the site contains the standard Netflix fare: some absolute classics in amongst a great deluge of dross. With so many films carrying the drama-genre tag (and in a way aren't all films dramas of a kind?), the section sees films from every other subsection of the site, from thriller to sci-fi, comedy to cult. With well over 400 titles in the drama category, picking something to watch from within can become a long, drawn-out affair - especially if you fancy branching out and watching something that isn't a certified classic. Luckily, here's a list of 20 Hidden Drama Gems for you to seek out and stream on Netflix. Ranging from films completely unknown, to forgotten essentials of a bygone era, to those that fall somewhere in-between, this collection of movies will save you some valuable time when searching for some satisfying drama to watch on the site. Note: this list adheres to the UK version of Netflix.
