Hilary Swank stars in this sports drama as Maggie, a waitress from the Ozarks who moves to LA to fulfil her dream of becoming a professional boxer. With the help of a cranky old boxing coach (played by Clint Eastwood), Maggie works hard and eventually secures a $1 million title match in Las Vegas. Million Dollar Baby has one of the most devastating twists of any movie out there, and while it's not exactly uplifting, it's definitely worth a watch.
