8. The Wrestler
Mickey Rourke is eerily dead-on as a washed-up, alcoholic professional wrestler whose life is a series of body slams in and out of the ring. Marisa Tomei plays his obligatory hot "girlfriend" -- as well as being a stripper with a heart of gold. Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen, Across the Universe) breaks hearts as Rourke's alienated daughter. Great movie.
