The best boxing movie

:yep

 

What about "Ali"? starring Will Smith

 

Sorry for the bump but boxing fans should know about this one!
It's worth the encore post trust me! :good

 

Great, now I have to bring out the guns that will get me a lot of smack from ya'll. I am a huge opera fan, and there is a wonderful opera called Requiem for a Heavyweight. If there are any opera fans in this forum (doubtful, but possible) then I strongly urge you to check it out.

 

That was f'n classic! I liked when he got the preacher to say "Mother****a". Lol!

 

You know for some strange reason that I can't think of, I really didn't like this movie too much. I know, boxing fans will slap me for saying so, but really, I just didn't like it. I liked the fight scenes, and the Malcolm X assassination was pretty dramatic in a good way (sad event however), but overall, I just didn't like it too much.

 

I thought Ali was weak personally.

 

:rofl

:rofl Forgot about that. Preacher's wife was sayin it too. Hilarious.

 

1947 version of "Body & Soul"

 

Yeah i think it was bit dreary.

 

Maybe that was it...

 

Never saw the original, but I have the remake. It was ok.

 

Yeah, I kinda get depressed whenever I watch it.

 

Yeah its good movie its called "Gladiator"

 

i cant believe no one mentioned;

CHAMPION (2002)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325165/

Champion is about the life and death of Korean boxer Deuk-Gu Kim in the boxing ring. The film went into great detail about Kim's life and times during the 1980s and outlined how Kim came to be a great boxer. Kim's family was also depicted in this film. Boom Boom Mancini was the boxer that injured Kim in such a way as to cause his death. If you're looking for a biography about Kim, then this film is for you. You will know everything you ever wanted to know about Kim. The film was well made as a class B+ with many good attributes. It is subtitled in most places so you do have to read the dialog. Get the DVD if you have some time to kill.

I enjoyed it to bits!!!
