Boxing Movies

[Trainer Monkey]

Im sure its been done before,but Im looking for something fun to do while I lick the salt out of my wounds from Baldomir going in the tank last night
The obvious ones
Rocky 1-6
Raging Bull

[No Contest]

Raging Bull is one of my all time favorite movies in general, brilliant cinematography. The way he shot in black and white, with the color grainy footage, made you feel like you were back in those days. On the waterfront, Somebody Up There Loves Me(based on Graziano), Million Dollar Baby, I liked Rocky 1 but the rest are average if ya ask me. Cinderella Man was great...I like the movies that are based on actual fighters, and give you a little insight on the history of that fighter.

I love all the Rockys. I've heard they are making a film about Micky Ward, that should be good.

Gotta mention this one "Here COmes Mr Jordan"
Heaven Can Wait is basically a remake,but with a football player instead of a boxer like the original
