10. Raging Bull
Rotten Tomatoes: 5 stars
80’s music and boxing just go incredibly well together.
The film follows Jake LaMotta in his journey to the top, but also focuses a lot on his love interest–Vicky–and the Italian mafia, which is something everybody loves to see in a movie.
Put boxing, love life and the mafia in the same movie, and I’m sure that the plot doesn’t need to go into much more detail. Don’t let that be a discouragement from watching it, though.
The best part is the end when LaMotta starts shadowboxing and chanting “I’m the boss.”
You laugh now, but you’ll be saying the same thing after the movie.
