7. Gentleman Jim
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 5 stars
Maybe you’re not in the mood to watch a movie from 1942, but are you in the mood to watch a movie that was given a 100 percent rating from Rotten Tomatoes? Yes, you are.
Taking place in the late 1800’s, San Francisco, Gentleman Jim shows the life of James J. Corbett when boxing was illegal. To improve the reputation of the bloody sport, a local judge recruits upstanding gentlemen to fight, along with Corbett in the process.
Corbett takes the opportunity to shine some light on actual technique that goes into the sport, showing that with just a little bit of footwork training, you can not only win the fight, but also get the girl of your dreams.
