Recommend some great melodramas

More romantic rather than weepie- I enjoyed The Seventh Veil and like Sirk’s melodramas.

Which of Douglas Sirk's films have you seen?

Boy that's tricky


Kings Row
Leave Her to Heaven
That Hamilton Woman
Here Comes Mr. Jordan
Heaven Knows Mr. Allison
Bigger Than Life
The Nun's Story

But if you're looking for modern stuff you've got a couple good hybrid options.


The Duchess
Young Victoria
Lady Macbeth
My Cousin Rachel
The Awakening
Salvation
The Duke of Burgundy
Never Let Me Go
Atonement
Stoker
Salvation

All That Heaven Allows, Imitation of Life, Written on The Wind

Shame.

Good ones!

I'd go with another Sirk film, Magnificent Obsession (1954)
Also great is Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948)

'God's Own Country'

One of the films of 2017.

An Affair to Remember
Mildred Pierce

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for... but if you want a movie about a love of friendship and heartache shared between two people.. watch "Beaches"... you will cry your eyes out....
