Boxing's Fabulous Four: Duran/Leonard/Hagler/Hearns (83min) (1994)
|
The Fabulous Four chronicles the competition of four great champions: Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Marvin Hagler. This video is a must for any sports fan, depicting some of the greatest fights of this decade-long struggle: Duran's "hands of stone" pounding of Leonard for the welterweight crown in Montreal, the famous "Alley Fight" between Thomas "the Hit Man" Hearns and Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and Leonard's amazing comebacks from retirement to recapture titles from his three opponents.
While many of these bouts require no introduction, the narration expertly introduces each fight for the uninitiated. A drawback of this video is the exclusion of the celebrated rematch between Leonard and Duran. However, there is still plenty of bone-crunching action. A necessary addition to any sports fan's library, The Fabulous Four details some of boxing's greatest rivalries. (JH)

RAGING BULL (The Jake La Motta story) - Robert DeNiro (Drama) (128min) (1980)
|
Martin Scorsese's brutal character study incisively portrays the true rise and fall and redemption of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, a violent man in and out of the ring who thrives on his ability (and desire) to take a beating. Opening with the spectacle of the over-the-hill La Motta (Robert De Niro) practicing his 1960s night-club act, the film flashes back to 1940s New York, when Jake's career is on the rise. Despite pressure from the local mobsters, Jake trusts his brother Joey (Joe Pesci) to help him make it to a title bout against Sugar Ray Robinson the honest way; the Mob, however, will not cave in. Raging Bull filmed in b/w is considered by many as the best boxing movie of all-time! (AMG)

Boxing's Best - Sugar Ray Robinson (1hr) (1995)
|
In an era of great middleweights, Sugar Ray beat them all. He had every attribute of a great fighter: grace, skill, punch, speed, courage, durability. Undefeated welterweight king, he was five times middleweight champion who collapsed from the heat while leading for the lightheavyweight crown.
This is a good summary of his long career, starting with the Golden Gloves. Oddly enough, it does not mention the draw he fought for the championship at the age of 44 or show the right handed punch that blinded champion Carmen Basilio and enabled Sugar Ray to win the belt again.

TRIUMPH OF THE SPIRIT - Willem Dafoe (Drama) (121min) (1989)
|
Triumph of the Spirit is the true story of Salamo Arouch, a Greek-Jewish boxer imprisoned in Auschwitz during World War II. Arrested while attempting to help his family and friends escape the Nazi juggernaut, Arouch (Dafoe) is slated for extermination. He manages to survive--and to serve as an inspiration for his fellow inmates--by literally boxing for his life. He does this at the orders of his SS captors, who gamble on the outcome of Arouch's bouts. With each victory, Arouch is rewarded with extra bread rations, which he passes on to his family. Counterpointing the main story is the seemingly foredoomed romantic relationship between Arouch and female inmate Allegra (Wendy Gazelle). An uplifting coda rounds out this grim factual account. Triumph of the Spirit was filmed on location at Auschwitz--the first film of its kind to be lensed in that infamous locale. (AMG)

GENTLEMEN JIM- (The James J. Corbett Story) Errol Flynn (Drama) (104min) (1942)

Errol Flynn was a capable boxer and the movie Gentleman Jim makes full use of this skill. Flynn stars as Jim Corbett, the 19th-century American pugilist who introduced "scientific" methods to bare-knuckle boxing. Originally an office clerk, Corbett is introduced to the then-illegal sport of fighting when one of the bank executives sponsors the young man's training at the Olympic Club. (AMG)

The Legendary Champions 1882 to 1929 (90min) (1968)
|
A unique Oscar-nominated feature film spanning 47 years of boxing (1882-1929). Featuring rare footage of John L. Sullivan, James J. Corbett, Gene Tunney and many more. Musician/songwriter Harry Chapin was the creative hand behind the sublimely assembled documentary. Digging way back to the dawn of movies, the film, which, offers the lucky viewer precious clips of America's greatest heavyweight boxers. Important figures like John L. Sullivan and Jim Corbett are represented via carefully chosen stills. The best moments -- the Dempsey-Tunney "long count" of 1927 among them -- may be familiar to some viewers, but it's always fun to see them again. The Legendary Champions is narrated by familiar TV-commercial voice-over artist Norman Rose. Other notables include-
* Tommy Burns -
* Bob Fitzsimmons -
* James J. Jeffries -
* Jack Johnson -
* Jess Willard -

THE JOE LOUIS STORY - Coley Wallace (Drama) (88min) (1953)

Real life heavyweight COLEY WALLACE plays the title role in The Joe Louis Story. Told in flashback, the film recounts the pugilistic career of "the Brown Bomber" from the early 1930s to his misguided comeback attempt opposite Rocky Marciano in 1951. The film's high point is Louis' defeat of Germany's Max Schmeling; its low point (dramatically, not quality-wise) is the breakup of Louis's marriage. (AMG)

CHAMPION- Kurt Douglas (Drama) (99min) (1949)

Champion is perhaps the best drama ever based on the fight game. It is remarkable for a number of things: the unrelenting, grinding logic that leads to the hero's tragic fate; the beautiful cinematography and editing that make it a masterpiece of light and shadow; near-perfect performances by everyone, from Kirk Douglas as Midge Kelly, down to the actor who plays a sleazy small-time ring manager; and the boost it gave to the budding careers of Douglas and others.

Harlan "Mountain" McClintock (Jack Palance) has been a professional boxer for 14 years. He's been in the ring for over 110 bouts and was once ranked number five among the world's heavyweight fighters, but age and the physical punishment of his sport have taken their toll. Now McClintock is growing too old to fight but he lacks the money to retire gracefully, as his manager Maish (Keenan Wynn) suggests he start fighting crooked or switch to professional wrestling.
