Cold winter nights were made for cinema, the kind of films you watch with something warm and don't move until the end. Drama at its most powerful, character-driven, honest, and impossible to look away from. Specifically from the golden era of the 80s and 90s, a period that defined modern cinema in ways still felt today. Films that rewrote the rules and influenced everything that came after them.
