The Paper

Pay it Forward

Lost in Translation

Answer 2

Just seen 'Flashbacks of a Fool'. It was very believable.

Answer 3

It's hard to come up with one absolute top one, there are so many (and even more that I haven't seen).

And Coleridge did say that drama depends on the audience's willing suspension of disbelief.

But OK, let's cut out any sci-fi and fantasy films which aren't supposed to be realistic.

I'd say, then, that some very believable ones were Casablanca, High Noon, Grapes of Wrath, The Little Foxes, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Virgin and the Gypsy, Mr. Holland's Opus.

Hm, suddenly I feel like Alan Smithee...
