1. Lars and the Real Girl (2007)

    An American-Canadian comedy-drama film written by Nancy Oliver and directed by Craig Gillespie. It stars Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider, Kelli Garner and Patricia Clarkson. The film follows Lars (Gosling), a sweet yet quirky, socially inept young man, who develops a romantic relationship with an anatomically correct sex doll, a “RealDoll” named Bianca, and the story of how his older brother (Schneider), his brother’s wife (Mortimer), and the rest of the small town grow to accept and welcome Bianca into the community for Lars’ sake, not realizing that she would touch all of their lives in such a profound way.

    Despite not earning back its initial budget in theatrical release, Lars and the Real Girl was critically acclaimed. It earned an Academy Award nomination for “Best Writing (Original Screenplay)”, while Gosling received a Golden Globe Award nomination for “Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy” and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for “Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role”.
