Cinderella Man.

It captures the gravity of surviving that period through the eyes of a successful boxer who lost everything but his family. It's one of the best sports movies but it's really more about doing hard things in desperation to help the ones you love.

Great cast, great acting, writing, directing.

The Sting

One of the two pairings of two of the great movie stars, Redford and Newman. Robert Shaw is a great villain (as he was in From Russia with Love.) Marvelous set design and clothes. And how can one not smile when one hears the music of Scott Joplin. There are some very good films mentioned here, but for once the Academy was right when it said this was the best picture.
