5. Braveheart (1995)

Loosely based on history, Braveheart tells the story of William Wallace’s attempt to secure freedom for his fellow Scots from the tyrannical English rule. As he tries to unite the Scottish clans, he is betrayed and falls into the hands of the enemy. The climax shows him being tortured by the English as they attempt to get a confession out of him. Offered a chance to save himself by admitting his sins, he chooses to die with honor by bellowing “Freedom!” as his final word. The English proceed to decapitate him, but his name goes onto become legend. Let the tears flow, brother.
