Best boxing movie you've ever seen ?

Cinderella Man for me too, very closely followed by The Fighter. Both great films. Raging Bull deserves a huge mention.

 

Raging bull, can't beat dinero and Pesci. Truly tragic movie.

 

raging bull.and the first rocky before it got silly.

 

Anything but Rocky. Can't stand it.

 

The book cinderella man is way better than the movie, the movie paints Baer like an animal unlike the book which shows how he battled with the death of the fighters he faced, another good movie isthe champ and somebody up there likes me, the rocky graziano movie

 

Rocky !

 

#1 - raging bull
#2 - rocky I
#3 - on the waterfront
#4 - the champ (1979)
#5 - rocky IV
#6 - cinderella man
#7 - rocky balboa
#8 - fat city
#9 - diggstown
#10 - streets of rage

my personal top ten although the champ is seen as an old weepy cant deny it affected me and hit home which is what matters

diggstown an underrated classic imo like james woods stuff of the 90's

 

Raging Bull
Somebody up there likes me.
Cinderella man
Requiem for a Heavyweight.
The Great white hope

 

The champ

 

Rocky 3

 

There's an old one with Robert Ryan where he is supposed to fix a fight and then decides to fight to win. It's called The Set Up, I think. Very rarely on TV but I enjoyed it.

 

There's Raging Bull.......and then all the rest.

 

rocky 4

 

Great White Hype may not be the best but it's the most entertaining ... and shows so much insider understanding and knowledge of the game.
