If you loved Gran Torino, try Million Dollar Baby
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Clint Eastwood, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gran Torino, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Million Dollar Baby is
A cramped Los Angeles gym on a grey morning, the sound of a punching bag. A young woman's worn boxing gloves, a grizzled trainer's skeptical gaze. Eastwood frames a poignant underdog story.
