Here Hollywood did its milquetoast version, The Day After, which was a waste of everyone's time. Whereas everyone should see Threads. Once.

I see Raging Bull listed. I'll second that one too.

Edit to endorse Million Dollar Baby for this list, too. Here's the thing about voluntarily subjecting yourself to being repeatedly punched hard in the head. Don't do it. Leads to only bad things.
