My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown
98
Born with cerebral palsy into a large working-class Irish family, Christy Brown defies all expectations by learning to write and paint with his left foot.
Why watch: Sheridan's debut, made for £600,000. Day-Lewis refused to leave his wheelchair between takes.
