    not sure if the rules are the same but be careful about requesting whole movies or illegal material :bbb

    You may find them at 'Oldies.com'...."The Ring" - (1952)Is a good B & W low budget movie

    I hope you mention Raging Bull, Killer's Kiss, Fat City, and Requiem for a Heavyweight in your report. Also Rocky, DiggsTown, The Hammer, and The Great White Hype were good as well.

    You should watch John Huston's classic, Fat City. For me it rates behind only Raging Bull and Cinderella Man. The novel is also outstanding.
