    Raging Bull for me. Personally I thought Ali was a huge disappointment considering the subject matter. The movie I'd really love someone to make - if it was done properly - is the life of Jack Johnson.

    Raging Bull

    The Great White Hope

    Cinderella Man

    All 3 movies have brilliant lead performances.

    Somebody Up There is awesome, as well as Raging Bull. The first Rocky film is up there with the best as well.

    Crying Fist is a pretty good Korean movie about two boxers fighting each other.

    Other good movies related to boxing: The Harder They Fall, On the Waterfront.

    I think recent titles like Resurrecting the Champ, Cinderella Man or Million Dollar Baby started promising but failed bigtime.

    Really?? I mean to each his own, but to me Raging Bull focused too much on his love life and **** than the fights.


    I really like Diggstown.

    Raging Bull. No contest IMO. Great cast, great acting, great directing.
