    Requiem for a heavyweight, probably the most accurate commentary on the reality of the fight game, at least in it's time.

    have to check out Body and soul, and somebody uo there likes me never saw either

    Gladiator with Cuba Gooding was good also.

    The American Film Institute recently rated Raging Bull #4 on their list of the 100 greatest movie of all time, above Goodfellas, 2001: A Space Odessey, and On the Waterfront. That's huge.

    The Setup ..... Robert Ryan .... (1948) Only Body and Soul compares to this one
    Body and Soul .... John Garfield .... Brilliant movie ... possibly the best of all
    Requiem For a Heavyweight .... Anthony Quinn
    Raging Bull .... Robert DeNiro
    Cinderella Man .... Russell Crowe

    All the above are superb.

    Snatch - does that count as a boxing movie?

    If not, then probably Killer's Kiss. Early Stanley Kubrick movie that most people have probably forgotten.

    Of the mainstream boxing movies, probably Diggstown and Rocky III. I personally think the Oscar-type boxing movies have all been completely overrated.

    There are some great movies, especially Rocky I, Raging Bull, On the Waterfront and Somebody Up There Likes me. However I'd like to recommend a pretty good Korean movie:

    CRYING FIST
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457007/

    <----------------- starring Choi Min-sik
