Warrior: It's got Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte. Like many films, it's not about the subject matter which is MMA. As my wife put it: "When I saw you click on it in Netflix, I thought great another fighting movie but, it was a great movie"! By the end, she was wiping-out the kleenex. It's got everything for both men and women. Good story, good action, great performances!
The Tall Man: Jessica Biehl. Honestly, that's enough for me but, it's an interesting story with a heck of a twist that will have you wondering throughout the movie what's really happening.
Going back a ways...
Forbidden Planet! Leslie Nielson before he was a comedic actor in one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time! It introduced us to Robbie the Robot!
Vision Quest: Mathew Modine and Linda Fiorentino. Standard 80's coming of age film focused around high-school wrestling. One of my favorites of all time! Good soundtrack and Madonna's first on screen performance.
