Default fall vs fall down vs drop

I find it difficult to distinguish "fall" from "fall down". My dictionary can't help.
*******************************************
A similar problem is the difference between "fall" and "drop". I'm not sure whether I should say "The curtain in my bedroom fell" or "The curtain in my bedroom dropped".
