I don't think that anyone will disagree with me if I say that one of the best movies are based on books or true stories. After all, most of those movies are on the top list of IMDB. That is why I decided to make my own list of personal favourite drama movies based on novels. It was really hard for me to decide which one is the best, but ,however, I think you would enjoy every single one of them.

2. Schindler's List (1993) - 195 min - Biography | Drama | History
There is no doubt that this is one of the best films created by Steven Spielberg. This incredible story takes place in Poland in a small town called Krakow.

He uses Jews to start up his factory and during the years of fiendish torches towards the Jews he has saved 1,100 from certain death.

Adapted from the Stephen King's novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", the film tells the story of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker who spends nearly two decades in Shawshank State Prison for the murder of his wife and her lover despite his claims of innocence. The story is told through the eyes of Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), a man with whom Andy forms a close friendship. After a few years Andy finds himself protected by the guards after the warden begins using him for his knowledge in accounting in his money laundry. The brilliant acting of Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman took the movie on the top of the charts of IMDB - the biggest movies catalog on the internet - with the score of 9.2.
