I thought Whiplash was excellent. Not a true story but follows a jazz drum student who gets yelled at and becomes a badass drummer.

Let me caveat this by saying that, as a general rule, I try to avoid many emotionally devastating movies. And most of the ones I do end up watching I would never ever watch again. One of the only ones that I can think of that I would watch again is Whiplash...

Whiplash! I think that would speak to a lot of MIT undergrads...
