Films with excellent machine direction (MD) tear properties comprise at least one layer made from a polymer comprising:

• (A) at least 50 weight percent (wt %) propylene; and
• (B) at least 5 wt % ethylene and/or one or more unsaturated comonomers.

  Representative of component (B) unsatuarated comonomers are the C_4-20 -olefins, C_4-20 dienes, styrenic compounds, and the like. Preferably, the film has at least one of a (i) haze value of less than about 10, (ii) 45 degree gloss of greater than about 65, and (iii) dart value of greater than about 100 g/mil. In one preferred embodiment, the layer comprises a compolymer characterized as having at least one of the following properties: (i) ¹³C NMR peaks corresponding to a regio-error at about 14.6 and about 15.7 ppm, the peaks of about equal intensity, (ii) a B-value greater than about 1.4 when the comonomer content, i.e., the units derived from ethylene and/or the unsaturated comonomer(s), of the copolymer is at least about 3 wt %, (iii) a skewness index, S_ix, greater than about -1.20, (iv) a DSC curve with a T_me that remains essentially the same and a T_max that decreases as the amount of comonomer, i.e., the units derived from ethylene and/or the unsaturated comonomer(s), in the copolymer is increased, and (v) an X-ray diffraction pattern that reports more gamma-form crystals than a comparable copolymer prepared with a Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalyst.
