    The original '46 BODY & SOUL that earned an Academy Award nomination for best picture, and the Academy Award to Canada Lee, for Best Supporting Actor.

    Raging Bull was the best. "The harder they fall" is a good one it's about poor Primo Carnera.

    If we're including documentaries, Ring of Fire; the Emile Griffith story deserves a mention.
    I can't recommend this one highly enough - I'm not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes at the end.

    cinderella man,

    raging bull is a classic

    i enjoyed ali, thought undisputed was really corny, undisputed 2 was shocking, rockys are awsome, was dissapointed with tyson,

    going to search for a few more films you guys mentioned sounds like theres loads of decent ones

    whats the one with denzel washington in i hear thats good too

    Make sure you ask for the ORIGINAL '47 version of BODY & SOUL, 2t2s2 -- not the countless awful knock-offs done since then.

    The classic section of a video store or Amazon should have it.

    Not mentioned yet and very worthwhile...

    Fat City
    The Great White Hope (James Earl Jones as Jack Johnson)
    Requiem for a Heavyweight (prefer the '62 version with Quinn; nothing against Palance, the Quinn one just has a better overall cast and writing)
    The Set-Up (see this!! a Film Noir boxing film (1949) with a great look at one fateful night in the life of a journeyman)

    Great opening scene from Requiem for a Heavyweight (with a bunch of old greats at the bar and then Ali). FFWd to 2:55; whoever posted it puts a bunch of crap at the beginning).
