The Fighter and The Hurricane as well. And I know some aren't fans of it but I'd include Million Dollar Baby too.


These as well. Baseball is the only sport that is in the debate on being as good as boxing in film, but I still don't think they reach the emotional heights and character struggle boxing movies do. On second thought, I don't even think Baseball is close.

Ali isn't a particularly good movie IMO.

But since this guy hates Rocky 1-3, Breaking Bad is stupid, etc. his opinion is unworthy.

There are quite a few good boxing movies. More than other sports.

Need more MMA movies. Nothing like watching two dudes roll around in a cage while wearing shorts. Now cast Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper and you got yourself a Friday at 1am on Cinemax.

First we had a guy who thought Rocky 4 sucked now we have a guy who thinks Rocky 4 is the only good boxing movie. Kids these days, I swear.

From the TV show Taxi:

Tony: Alex, wanna go to the movies?

Alex: What are you going to see?

Tony: I'm going to see Rocky 3 again. Rocky 3 is probably the best Rocky movie since Rocky 1.

Alex: How can you tell them apart?

Tony: They're numbered!

Aside from Raging Bull, which is one of the best movies of ANY genre....

I highly recommend:

Requiem for a Heavyweight (Jack Palance)
Somebody Up There Likes Me (Paul Newman)
Fat City (Stacy Keach/Jeff Bridges)
Diggstown (James Woods/Louis Gossett Jr,)

If you think any of these movies "suck", you're doing it wrong.
