The Wrestler

After being forced to retired, wrestling star Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Rourke) finds difficulty in building and rebuilding a life outside of the ring. Rourke fits the role perfectly, and is one of the best performances of his career. Tomei and Wood are also great in their supporting roles as the lover-interest stripper and Robinson's distantly neglected daughter, respectfully. It may be all six "Rocky" films rolled into one, but it's certainly touching to say the least. The ending may not be the most original, but there was no better way to end this story. Aronofsky makes another classic.
