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

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

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

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)

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.

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

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.

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??
