Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) vs The Champ (1979)

Warrior (2011) vs The Harder They Fall (1956)

Raging Bull (1980) vs Jerry Maguire (1996)

Like both but that final race in the rain, picture/sound quality is just amazing.

Bump, just finding this now. I'm not a huge sports fan and that largely translates to sports films, however there are a handful of truly great pictures either focused on a sport or using one as a backdrop or allegory:

1. The Hustler
2. Le Mans
3. Raging Bull
4. White Men Can't Jump
5. The Lusty Men
6. He Got Game
7. Bull Durham
8. Body and Soul
9. The Wrestler
10. Breaking Away

Surely "Breaking Away" won this tourney.

This could be really cool with a bunch of movie fans who know some great obscure movies.



"Two Half Times In Hell" is a very good European movie.
