25. "Raging Bull"
Yea, it's a great film, but it's not better than "Rocky". If anything, "Raging Bull" is the Italian-American stereotype of a 'real' man. It's hard to sympathize with Jake or anyone involved in the film. After watching the film I wanted to read a book and detach myself from anything Italian. Then again, I usually feel that way.

Scorsese loves New York City and it shows in "Raging Bull". It's a wonderful love letter to a time and a place I have no desire to visit. His camerawork is revolutionary. His storytelling is a little scattered but intentionally so. It's odd to write about a film so well known and loved.

I still think "Rocky" is better and would totally win in a fight.
