View Full Version : best boxing movie
roXy graziano 11-30-2004, 04:27 PM yea I'm sure this question has been asked about a thousand times but I wanna know which movies you guys like
My favorite is Rocky. It might be biased though since I worship the ground Stallone walks on ;)
There's been a lot of **** boxing movies lately. I went out and got me a lil five finger discount on Play it to the Bone and Against the Ropes and they both ****in sucked.
Hey what about this movie Somebody Up there Likes me didn't Graziano write it or star in it or somethin? I've always tried to find it but can't

roXy graziano 11-30-2004, 04:31 PM what's the Hurricane about (ah stupid question probably heh)

Paul Newman starred in this flik based on Rocky G's autobiography.
Pretty good but romantisized like most films of that period. Well worth finding IMO.
My 3 faves:
Raging Bull
Rocky
When We Were Kings

Its about a boxer(ruben carter) who get sent down for a murder he didnt commit. i wont say anymore incase you watch it.

And it's based on a true story. Just listen to Bob Dylan's "Hurricane".

Do you mean Bob Dylan's "Hurricane"?

neils7147933 11-30-2004, 10:33 PM Raging Bull (1980)is the best boxing movie I've seen
The Great White Hype (1996) is the funniest boxing movie
Rocky movies in order:
Rocky (1976)
Rocky II (1979)
Rocky III (1982)
Rocky V (1990)
Rocky IV (1985) - this movie is a disaster
A couple more worth watching:
The Milky Way (1936) - Harold Lloyd talkie
The Prize Fighter (1979) - silly with Conway & Knotts
Movies with memorable boxing scenes:
Popeye (1980)
City Lights (1931)
Sgt. Bilko (1996)

Xecutioner 12-01-2004, 12:15 AM im pretty obsessed with rocky 3. 3 of my favorite 80s icons, Mr. T, Hogan, Stallone all in one movie. carl weathers not too shabby either LOL funny ass movie. especially the part where rocky suddenly gets fast enough to beat carl weathers in a footrace (5'7 muscled italian guy beating a guy who was almost an oakland raider lol), then they hug like some fruitcakes.
TheFairPole 12-01-2004, 07:12 AM Again, I can't belive nobody put this one!!!
GLADIATORS :D
neils7147933 12-11-2006, 08:49 AM I missed the first few minutes when it came on Starz the other day - but I may get to it if it's any good.
Any one seen Annapolis? It has Tyrese, James Franco, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordana Brewster
Dirt E Gomez 12-11-2006, 08:53 AM Easy:
Raging Bull. THe rest, while some good movies, all come in a very, very distant second to this work of art. It's one of De Niro's best pieces of acting and Scorsese directs masterfuly, as usual.
THE REAL NINJA 12-11-2006, 09:03 AM in no order just a few i've seen and like
[Great white hope ] Jack Johnson story
Joe & Max
all the rockys
white hype
Hurricane
[play it to the bone]
rocky marciano
ALI
[The Greatest] Same as Will Smith's Ali but Ali plays himself in this movie
Tyson
kayjay 12-11-2006, 09:04 AM Does anyone know the movie about a depression-era barefisted boxer starring maybe Burt Reynolds?
eazy_mas 12-11-2006, 10:19 AM Again, I can't belive nobody put this one!!!

BuddyChacon 12-11-2006, 10:27 AM Does anyone know the movie about a depression-era barefisted boxer starring maybe Burt Reynolds?
I am a huge Burt nuthugger and watch Gator on a weekly basis. I don't think that movie exists.
kayjay 12-11-2006, 10:44 AM It does it does. I'll be on imdb for the next thirty minutes
kayjay 12-11-2006, 10:46 AM It has Lee Marvin in it as the manager/promoter. Maybe it's not Burt who plays the fighter.
BuddyChacon 12-11-2006, 10:50 AM It has Lee Marvin in it as the manager/promoter. Maybe it's not Burt who plays the fighter.
It is definately not Reynolds as I am seriously obsessed with him, Steve McQueen, Natalie Wood and Brenda Song. I have sent fan letters to his **** agent for yrs with no response. Reynolds fact he turned down the role of Han Solo in Star Wars for Stroker Ace or some such ****e.

You're right it's not. I checked Lee Marvin at imdb, and could not find thew movie. But I left my dad a voicemail as he knows it.
I think it was Bronson who played the fighter??
