Want to try by genre? How about the flawed hero flick? I'm thinking along the lines of Rebel Without a Cause, Papillon, Cool Hand Luke. Self-made tragedies. A couple ounces of reality separate these from Commando, Dirty Harry, et al. Big slushy, happy endings immediately disqualify a film from this one.
