      My all time favourites will always be the Rocky movies, esp 1-4. I also really liked Cinderella Man and Raging Bull though.

        I was just about to mention this one.. its a good film.

        But out of the ones listed I like the rocky films and cinderella man. I have never seen or heard of fighting tommy riley.. but its kinda funny because thats the main actors name in gladiator..

          What about "Champion". I thought that was pretty good, But if you don't like reading subtitles then thats not the movie for you. It's also a true story.

              I don't think too many people are aware of that film since it's Korean. It's the story of Duk Koo Kim, the guy who died in the ring against Mancini. I've seen it...it's good, not great.

                  Scorsese is one of the all time great directors and this is one of his best films.

                    Cinderella Man is my favorite.

                    I also found a good one from the 1930s called Gentleman Jim (the story of Jim Corbett) starring Errol Flynn.
