Top 10 Boxing movies of all -time?

No "The Fighter"? I know newer movies tend to get overrated in "Best of" lists, but that was a legitimately great movie.

Also, I never saw it, but wasn't Cinderella Man regarded as kind of overrated and boring?

What? A movie with Russel Crowe is overrated and boring? Surely you jest.:jimlad:

Gladiator was a legitimately good movie, but yea, I can't think of anything else I've really loved. That is not a good sign for that big name of an actor.

The Fighter is a pretty good movie, and I would say that it is better than Rocky IV. I watched Raging Bull for the first time over the summer and thought that it wasn't anything too special.

I didn't love Raging Bull when I watched it, but I was tired and also dealing with a GF who was really bored with it, so I kind of give it the benefit of the doubt. I intend to go back and watch it again some time.

Are you trying to show your "softer/feminine" side?


Are you calling Diggstown soft and feminine? That sir, is an insult to both James Woods and Lou Gossett Jr., and I, for one, won't stand for it!

I'll have you know that I was named after the greatest Offensive Lineman in Green Bay Packer history, Chad Clifton. And neither I, nor my namesake are ones to suffer fools. And you sir, are very very foolish to call the character of a fine film like Diggstown into question. Very foolish indeed.
 
I enjoyed Rock III more than the other Rocky movies, Mr.T is the man.....

Rocky III is classic. Actually I think my least favorite Rocky (after the one that shall not be named) is actually "Rocky". I understand it's probably the best actual piece of cinema in the series, but from a pure "hey insert movie here is on cable" enjoyment standpoint, it's my least favorite.

**** no. In fact, Cinderella man was WAY underrated. I have a large dvd collection and its probably the most underrated movie in the entire bunch.
 
Diggstown didn't make the list?
Worthless list.

I'd rather discuss film's most sensuous kiss of all time.


"Why don't you focus on contributing to the other stupid threads you've created today, Forrest, instead of creating another one?

Thread closed."

Who is this Forrest you speak of Sir? My name is NOT Gump, nor Forrest Gump & people do NOT call me Forrest Gump! I think you have a serious tissue or issue or both.

You. I speak of you. You are Forrest, or Millerforrest, to be more precise. Are you seriously trying to suggest you're not? Keep in mind I can see exactly what IP address you are posting from and what other accounts it matches up with. At least Herkykiller had the sense to mask his IP address when he created new accounts, so it was at least a challenge. You don't even make it fun.
 
I didn't like the Hurricane because it made it look like that fight he lost was because of getting robbed by the judges. In the real fight, Carter got his butt kicked. Everyone who saw the fight knew Hurricane Carter lost fair and square.
