A really awesome movie came out in 2004 called Million Dollar Baby. If you like drama, this is the movie to watch. I had recently caught a glimpse of it on TV and went ahead and rented it a few days ago, even though I had already seen it. The movie is long and filled with drama and since I was feeling a bit under the weather, it was the perfect flick to sit back and watch. This film, which won multiple Oscars is about a determined female boxer who convinces an older trainer to train her. Frankie Dunn played by Clint Eastwood is depressed over a painful estrangement from his daughter when Maggie Fitzgerald played by Hilary Swank walks into his life and finally convinces him to train her. With the help of Dunn's assistant, Scrap, played by Morgan Freeman, they help Maggie get to the top. They go through trials and tribulations along the way but they manage to stick together and stick it out. I have to warn you that the ending is sad so if you can't stand unhappily ever after endings don't watch it. But if you like a well written movie with strong actors, please don't miss this one.
