my top 10 boxing films
There has been a few. Some that need to be more recognised.
Raging bull is my number one because of the directing,editing,sound,and deniro's performance.each fight in raging bull is unique in their own way. not bad for a director who hated and knew nothing about boxing..
Anyway this is my top 10
1.raging bull
2.champion (kirks michael corleone)
3.somebody up their likes me
(great boxing movie and great drama.meant for james dean but paul newman did a great job.
4.rocky
(prefer rocky 3 and 4 but cant help but to go back to the beginning of rocky.probably the best in the series.
5.city for conquest
(james cagney smashing up oppononts til he gets blinded by acid)
6.rocky 3.
(Surely the most entertaining boxing film ever made and the training montage
makes you want to join a gym and who doesnt live mr t )
7.cinderella man
(Out of all of crowes performances this i rate his best. courage and with a ton of heart)
8.the champ
(The ending still gets to me)
9.the fighter
(Mark whalberg i felt was a bit wooden but bale on form and great fight scenes loved the end fight where he just has enough being a loser and lets his hands go)
10.ali
(Bit long winded but will smiths performance is great.their is only one ali but its a nobel effort and showed will can act. Great realistic fight scenes too..
Others i wanted to put in the list was rocky 4 and the hurricane just cant find a place for them in their. And i swear ive missed out a very good one or two..but cant think.
Im goin to hit george foreman so many times he gonna think his surrounded
He gonna say call the police their is five of em in here
