Top 5 boxing movies

[Red_Menace]

the Boxer, with Daniel Day Lewis. Pretty cool movie that not a lot of people have seen. It's about a boxing prospect that's gone to jail for an IRA bombing, and how he deals with life/love when he gets out. There's a couple really good boxing scenes in there, as well as it being a really solid movie.

[BBFM]

1) Price of Glory
2) Million Dollar Baby
3) Undisputed
4) Undisputed(WESLEY SNIPES)
5) PLAY IT TO THE BONE

[Enayze]

Rocky IV
Rocky I
Against the Ropes
Undisputed
Undefeated

Cant believe I dont see the film Rocky Marciano on anyones list. That movie tops majority of the movies listed here.

Shucks and where is when we were kings?

[dangerousity]

I dont really rate million dollar baby.

1. Rocky 1
2. Rocky 2-5
3. Great White Hype
4. Raging Bull
5. Ali

Theres some on the back of my head Im missing. I didn't rate raging bull as high as most mostly because the movie is more of psychological lesson for me rather than just a movie. Not to mention I dont find black and white attractive...its suppose to add depth and effect but I just cant follow.

i haven't seen million dollar baby yet but imo rocky5 was the worst of the series.

[nsevaaetasi]

Million Dollar Baby was garbage.

[SacTown1]

i haven't seen million dollar baby yet but imo rocky5 was the worst of the series.

Rocky 5 was bad, but 3 takes the cake

I can't believe that multiple people have listed "Play it to the Bone" that was a horrific flick, I wanted to gouge my eyeballs when I saw Banderas and Woody exchanging punches, Harrelson looked like a bolemic Angel Manfredy

[spinksjinx]

Sac-Bone was a fun movie to watch, not from a boxing aspect sure but it had some goodtimes in the film. Nothing great but I liked it, but im also a fan of Woodys work.

My top boxing movies

Great White Hype
Rocky Marciano
When we were Kings

Just my top 3, I really wanted to see Dark Cloud but it was hyped up in boxing circles but I havent heard anything about it for a year or so.


I dont care what anybody says, everyone can rip on Rocky 5 all they like. I wont jump on the bandwagon it was a semi decent movie it isnt half as horrible as everyone makes it out to be and I enjoyed it. Infact I probably watched 5 more than the others in my Rocky collection (not to say it is the best) but I dont see why all the hate.

Rocky IV was so much worse than III and V

When We Were Kings is a documentary so it shouldn't compete with other features.

Haven't seen Million Dollar Baby yet.

I think I would rank On the Waterfront #1 and Pulp Fiction #2, since no one said how much of the plot should revolve around boxing. Do these count as "boxing" movies?

Anyway, a top 5 to go along with other lists:

1. Raging Bull (1980)
2. Rocky (1976)
3. The Great White Hype (1996)
4. The Milky Way (1936)
5. Rocky II (1979)

Honorable mention to the silly comedy The Prize Fighter (1979)
