The Best Boxing Movies
having recently watched the entire Rocky series and with The Fighter getting a lot of attention this past awards season, i got to thinking about the best boxing movies i have ever seen. that list goes as follows...
1: Raging Bull
can anything else really be at the top of this list?
2: When We Were Kings
this is one of my favorite documentaries. you can read the full discussion i wrote for the site a few years back.
3: Million Dollar Baby
clint eastwood's oscar winning film (and deservedly so among the five nominees)
4: Rocky
not only the best of the series, the first Rocky film was great in its own right. although, some of the poor sequels may have diminished it's perception to some.
5: The Great White Hype
a very under appreciated comedy that takes direct, and very funny, aim at the sport/business of boxing.
6: Ali
a michael mann film with will smith knocking it out of the park as Ali
7: The Fighter
david o. russell brings his own style to the boxing movie
8: Rocky Balboa
after some lesser films in the series, stallone comes back 16 years after the last film and ends the rocky saga on a high note, capturing his iconic character later in life.
