Since people here don't seem to know who the Common People are...
The Grapes of Wrath (definite first choice)
Mi Familia (or My Family)
Fiddler on the Roof
Norma Ray

My pic would be "Meet John Doe" with Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper.
Plot
Infuriated at being laid off from her job as a newspaper columnist, Ann Mitchell (Barbara Stanwyck) prints a fake letter from the unemployed "John Doe," threatening suicide in protest of society's ills. When the note causes a sensation, the newspaper is forced to rehire Mitchell. Together, the paper and Ann hire a John Willoughby (Gary Cooper), a former baseball player and tramp to play "John Doe." As the Doe philosophy spreads across the country developing into a political movement, Ann discovers the real motives of her publisher D.B. Norton (Edward Arnold).
Keep a box of kleenex handy...you will see an America that could have been...and never will be...and the movie will stay with you long after the credits roll. By Frank Capra...the same director who made "Its a Wonderful Life"....
the common people epic at its best.
