48. The Wrestler (2008)
People definitely didn’t expect to be moved as much as they did when this movie came out. We were all caught off guard when we found ourselves tearing up at Mickey Rourke’s raw portrayal of a struggling wrestler.
The Wrestler may not be a blockbuster hit, but it’s a genuinely human portrait of a broken soul. And the final scenes make the wrestler’s pain and heartbreak almost too real to bear.
