Before Bradley Cooper broke our hearts as Jackson Maine in A Star Is Born, he played Silver Linings Playbook's lovably imperfect Pat, a former teacher and divorcee struggling with bipolar disorder. As he tries to get his life together, he becomes friends with a young widow named Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), who convinces him to join her in a dance competition. If you're looking for a heartfelt drama with some dark humour and a great cast (hello, Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver), you can't go wrong with Silver Linings Playbook.
