Is a American dramatic film the same thing as an American drama? Or did you want to be more specific than that?
Heck, Raging Bull was a better American drama from the same year. Others that immediately come to mind are The Color Purple, Silence of the Lambs, Shawshank Redemption ... if your point is to small cast, emotional-issue based dramas ... of more recent vintage I'd say In The Bedroom is terrific.
If your point is that many dramas tend to be foreign based or foreign produced, no problem.
