Is Raging Bull a sports film?

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

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.

Thank you, Holden.

My top 3 fav. sports movies thus:

1. Raging Bull
2. Mighty Ducks 2
3. Mighty Ducks 3

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.

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

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

The sixth man is an awesome movie!! Marlon Wayans was funny in it.

1) Raging Bull
2) Any Given Sunday
3) The Big Lebowski

Although The Big Lebowski is one of my favourites, I don't see it as 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.

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

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)

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

Bend It Like Beckham
Miracle
Seabiscuit

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.

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

the list is the following :

Raging Bull

Bang the drum slowly

The fan


NOTE: Any one has Bang the drum slowly please gives me a messege
Thanx
