Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
A bleak, depressing tale of alcoholism and tragic love story between two lost souls. Cage gives a powerhouse of a performance in the role that won him an Oscar - an award that he certainly deserved for his heart wrenching portrayal of a man at his absolute worst.
Unflinching and filled with talent, I'd highly recommend this one. It's not for everyone, but it still should be seen.
