The 10 best sports movies of all timeA major activity of movie pioneers in the 1890s was filming prize fights, and there are more first-rate films about the "noble art" than any other sport. Boxing has become a metaphor for the dream of success, the inevitability of defeat, the struggle of life itself. Many actors have played boxers; Hilary Swank won an Oscar playing one. There have been impressive recent biographies such as Cinderella Man and The Fighter, but the greatest boxing film is Raging Bull, with Robert De Niro as the Italian-American middleweight Jake LaMotta, who himself played a bartender in The Hustler.
