Boxing Flicks
We watched Cinderella Man the other night. I thought it was a very good movie, but Renee Zelwigger was simply awful! I'm definitely not joining her fan club. There were scenes in the movie that made me feel physically ill because of her "acting."
Definitely worth watching- it's a great story. I guess I'd call it my fifth-favorite boxing movie ever:
1. Raging Bull
2. Rocky
3. Diggstown
4. When We Were Kings
5. Cinderella Man
6. Don King- Only in America
7. Rocky II
8. Ali
9. Rocky III
10. Rocky IV
11. The Champ
88. Million Dollar Baby
When We Were Kings might belong on another list, since it's a documentary. I saw The Champ when I was really young, and all I really remember is that it's very sad. I haven't really seen Rocky III or IV since I was a kid, so maybe I would think they stunk if I saw them today...

What's your problem with Million Dollar Baby?
I'm not sure where to begin. We'll have to talk when I'm in SF.
Ummm...I'm a bit behind on this one, but can I say schmaltz. They did leave out a puppy, but other than that - not top 100 boxing movies. Where was Rocky V?
