Would Kurosawa's The Lower Depths or The Bicycle Thief fit your themes?
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

This is an odd request, but I like it!
If you're game for documentaries, Michael Glawoggers films Whores Glory and Workingmans Death are pretty great (but dark as fuck)

Great thread. I can think of three examples not yet mentioned off the top of my head:
Django Unchained
Enemy Mine
No Escape (the Ray Liotta sci-fi original, not the recent film with Lake Bell and Owen Wilson)
In both Django Unchained and Enemy Mine, the protagonist is captured and sent to work in a mine at the end of the second act, which sets up the conflict in their respective third acts. (And please, if for some reason you haven't seen Enemy Mine, go do it now.)
In No Escape, Ray Liotta is a soldier who kills his CO and gets shipped to a prison island to do manual labor.
