Gran Torino - 2008

Not everyone is good at change. This movie focuses on just such a man, and why that resistance to change isn't always a bad thing. I'm going to skip a full review but let me just say that this was a fantastic movie, and I'd highly recommend it. Eastwood is great and the story is always interesting. This review from Althouse really sold me on it, it makes for a good read.
And I'll let her do more of the heavy lifting, in her comment section she is asked what lessons it offers. Her response:

"the various lessons"

1. A man should get a real job, a man's job -- build things, use tools.

2. Violence is terrible. It's not some game.

3. A man should be close to his sons.

4. Even a bad man can get the best woman in the world to marry him if he works at it hard enough, and even if he hates just about everything else, he can see the real value of that.

5. A young man should perceive when a girl likes him and he needs to ask her out to dinner and a movie before somebody else does.

6. A boy needs a man to teach him how to be a man.

7. Don't smoke.

8. Kids should show respect.

9. You should take care of your property -- your house and lawn.

10. You should collect a full set of tools, and hang them up on the wall in good order. And teach your sons how to use them.

11. There's phony, candyass religion that soothes some women, but there's serious religion too, the kind that suits a man.

12. Get a nice car and take care of it and some day you will own a "vintage" car.

I'd add the lesson that you must be able to rely on yourself and sometimes that means improving yourself until you are reliable enough.
Just a fantastic movie.
