Star Wars: Clone Wars: Vols. 1 & 2 (2003)
These (and not the current debacle of the same name) were originally on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005 and were created by Samurai Jack alum Genndy Tartakovsky. I believe that these two short (each volume is a little over an hour in length) volumes were far better stories than the first two prequels and the middle of Revenge of the Sith. They are how the Star Wars Universe should have been portrayed.

The Wrestler
Aronofsky has a way with films. Dark, depressing films that is. You find yourself rooting for his tragic characters (Requiem for a Dream) who will usually never find happiness or redemption. If you add Mickey Rourke's outstanding performance, then you have a film like The Wrestler. There is a scene in which Rourke's character climbs to the top rope and stands victorious with lights shining behind him, it is the most moving shot in the entire film. It is ultimately a Pyrrhic victory, though.
The Reader
Wow. OK, so I don't really know where to begin with this film. I came into this film thinking that it took place during World War II and so I was very thrown off to begin with. But then, the film takes an incredible turn and I was unable to take my eyes off of Kate Winslet's character. The film is ultimately heartbreaking.
