I liked Will Smith as Ali.

The Hurricane was an excellent movie. IMO it was better than Raging Bull. There is just something about Raging Bull I don't see or get, but I have heard so many express love for this film that I now just figure that it's my failure to appreciate it's greatness. Should give a re-watch.

I liked Million Dollar Baby, but I know that film also gets some flack from hardcore fans. I liked it anyway.

The best I've seen in the past many years however is The Fighter. Could watch that one over and over. The sub plot of the families' issues is both hard to watch and captivating.
