    I’ll admit, I was stuck on this for a while before posting, trying to come up with a (relatively) recent example.

    My pick is Baby from Baby driver (awesome movie btw). It is the story of a young man who partly through poor decisions, and partly through circumstance ends up in bad circles. Throughout the movie, he learns to stand up for himself, what (he believes) is right, and those he cares for.

    What I found most compelling however is how he - when faced with a serious choice - takes responsibility for his actions and mistakes, owning up to them and in the process stops the people he cares most about ending up in harms way.

    In my opinion, that is perhaps one of the most important parts of being a man, owning and taking responsibility for your actions, even when that may come at a great personal cost.
