The Full Monty (Budget: $3.5M, Box Office: $258M)

The Full Monty is a 1997 British comedy classic starring Robert Carlyle. The story revolves around a group of six unemployed men who decide to make money by stripping (aka “going the full monty”). Apart from the comedy that endlessly flows from the film, it also shows a lot of heart; a winning combination that made it a major success.
