Is Raging Bull a sports film?

Yes, of course. Boxing is a sport.

Raging Bull is MORE than "just" a sports movie, but it is most certainly that too. It's silly to discount it simply because it's a much deeper and more complex film than Mighty Ducks 3. It should be elevated because of this, not dismissed.

Million Dollar Baby: great acting, and a great story to be told.


Hoosiers: Too many classic lines/scenes to mention, so I'll mention one of the most quotable dialogue's in history "Measure that hoop from the floor"....."Same distance as the one back home."


Miracle: Our greatest era in olympic history is told, that's all that needs to be said.

TheLebowski 10-17-05 04:23 PM

1) Major League
2) Hoosiers
3) and sad but true Varsity Blues....thought it was better than expecting.

Gods Lone Wolf 10-18-05 08:38 PM

1. Hoop Dreams
2. The Hustler
3. Predator
(c'mon. C'MON. You know it might as well be a sports movie.)

I personally wouldn't class it as a sports movie either. I suppose what category a film falls under depends on how you interperate it.

Silas 10-22-05 12:36 PM

I just loved that movie and the fact that bowling was an important aspect in it pursued me to include it, although i wouldnt fully categorize it as a sports movie either

Harry Iyer 10-23-05 11:58 AM

My favorite sport movies are:-

1) Major League (I think only TheLebowski is the only other guy in the forum who liked it)
2) Shaolin soccer (Stephen Chow)
3) Lagaan (You may not have heard of it, it is a film from india and also won an oscar for the best foreign language film)

Sam Wainwright 10-23-05 02:03 PM

Like almost everyone else i want to put Raging Bull as a fav sports movie, but i refraine, and i will be different. ( not in any order of significance).

1. Breaking Away

2.Tin Cup

3.North Dallas Forty

and a contender for top 3 ....caddyshack..lol

Diz 12-09-05 01:58 AM

Bend It Like Beckham
Miracle
Seabiscuit

stevo3001 12-09-05 01:33 PM

1 Hoop Dreams

2 Raging Bull

3 either when We Were Kings or Shaolin Soccer- neither are anywhere near the masterpieces the first two are, but are both great to watch for differing reasons.

T-Red 12-09-05 07:51 PM

1. Hoosiers
2. Remember The Titans
3. Friday Night Lights
