The Great White Hype

The Champ

[neils7147933]

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)

Bud Greenspan's Kings of the Ring is my favorite boxing documentary - ahead of When We Were Kings

1. Rocky 1-4
2. Raging Bull
3. Great White Hype
4. Play it to the Bone

Everytime this post comes back in different form, too many people leave out Diggstown. The storyline is absolute gold if you can get past some of the "average" fight choreography.

Rocky I
Ali
Split Decision
and even though its a documentary...
When we were kings

Raging Bull and The Hurricane

How can you say Rocky IV was a distaster? So your saying a fight in the street was better than watching a fight in Russia against a huge Russian? I thought it was a cool movie accept the punches clearly didn't hit(they didn't even try to make it look like they did), and it sounded like a machine gun every punch that hit.

Both the last 2 Rocky's were bad - but IV, with its "Home Robot" and other assorted 80s oddities against the backdrop of Cold War propaganda.... come on, Tommy Gunn was better.

That speech Rocky gives the Russian fans at the end of IV is among the worst I have ever seen in a movie..."If I can change, then you can change...." Puke.
