Dallas Buyers Club
When told you have 30 days to live, you should go buy furniture you don't have to pay a cent for until 90 days.
Strangely, the dying man in this drama isn't interested in ottomans.
In one fell swoop, homophobic bull rider Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) is diagnosed with HIV and given one month to live.
Unwilling to accept that fate - but unsatisfied with the approved medicine - Ron and his afflicted friend (Jared Leto) establish a network of ailing buyers for the unsanctioned AIDS medication Ron smuggles in from Mexico.
As he surpasses his death-date, Ron's struggle against the FDA to distribute the magic pill intensifies; meanwhile the disease cuts down his customer base.
Based on true events, DBC captures the confused climate of the 1980s, while McConaughey embodies the physical and emotional strain of the impartial syndrome.
Thankfully, today, HIV/AIDS is a more manageable STI like pregnancy.
