City of God (2002)-9.5/10
I hadn't seen this before, but wow was this a great movie. Its about a young kid, Rocket, in the slums of Rio de Janerio, Brazil. He wants to be a photographer, and it shows how he gets there. Its based on a true story.

If you have not seen it, its a MUST SEE. And do not get it in English, make sure its in Portugese and has subtitles, it makes the movie flow better and overall more realistic.
