Philadelphia - Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington

Excellent. Powerful. Especially in the exposure of homophobia in society.

It was... too much for me. You better HAVE a box of Kleenex nearby.

Excerpt: At the time of its release, Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia was the first big-budget Hollywood film to tackle the medical, political and social issues of AIDS. Tom Hanks, in his first Academy Award-winning performance, plays Andrew Beckett, a talented lawyer at a stodgy Philadelphia law firm. Andrew has contracted AIDS but fears informing his firm about the disease.
