Best boxing movie you've ever seen ?

because its a documentary thought we were talking actors etc

 

Eastwoods Million Dollar Baby is the best recent one, edging out Cinderella Man on SD I rekcon.

hell, forgot the Fighter, great but personally I thought Bale's performance was rather hammy and OTTP and Whalberg was somewhat old for the role.

Of the Classic Era I'd go with Ragin Bull o course and Rocky1.

Wayback, I'd go with Somebody Up There Likes Me.

The best doc of all time will surely remain When We Were Kings. If someone could make a doc of Lewis Schmeling in the same mould it would be awesome too. There are plenty of good documentaries but WWWKs is the standout, exhilarating to watch but informative too.

 

haha yeah that's a great scene!!

 

Raging Bull

Cinderella Man was very good as well

 

Braddock - "... you think you're telling me something, like boxing's dangerous, something like that."

Cinderella man

 

Boxing movies never can make the fights look realistic. As for the story line, there are some good ones. I personally like Against the ropes with Omar Epps and Meg Ryan.

 

Cinderella Man is great, Tough to go against Rocky though.

I like-

Million Dollar Baby

Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV, and Rocky Balboa... hell, even Rocky V was better than I usually will admit

Somebody Up There Likes Me

Raging Bull

Cinderella Man

The Fighter

Ali

The Hammer (2007, Adam Carolla)

Requiem For A Heavyweight

The Great White Hope
