Time to revisit one of my favorites...
I refuse to call Raging Bull a sports movie... because it really isn't. Sure its a boxing film, but whats 80's movie wasn't. The film features something like 10 minutes of boxing in 2 hours+... and really its about so much more than boxing. I'm saying all this as someone who loves sports films, trust me.
De Niro's performance is one of the best ever, and I think it is among Scorsese's best work. (I can never pin down a favorite Scorsese). Raging Bull is one of the best dramatic films I've ever seen and I think its place on AFI's top films list is well deserved.
There is so much that can be said about this film, the wonderful directing, the wonderful acting, the wonderful script. This film will always be one of my favorite films of all time...
Rating: 9/10
This film for me is always tough to place on a favorites list, it truly is a favorite film of mine, and it is so wonderfully done, but its not one I will give a lot of play time. It's outstanding, but doesn't have the most rewatchability to me... so I always struggle does it trump something that I rewatch multiple times a year even though that rewatched film is far inferior in quality... a tough decision ranking films...
