Raging Bull is the greatest!!!`

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 1999)

Raging Bull is what you get when you combine great acting, superb directing, subliminal camera work and editing, and superior writing. It is hands down the best film ever made. Frankly, I think it should be rated #1 out of 250! It is clearly the best of Scorsese's films (and he has made MANY great films). All the actors were superb - Pesci as Joey, Cathy Moriarty as Vickie, Nicholas Colosanto (a.k.a. "Coach" from Cheers) as Tommy Como, and even Frank Vincent as Salvy. And DeNiro - 'nuff said. I mean, DeNiro is always great, but he was especially awesome in Raging Bull. Who else would go to such lengths as to purposefully gain 50 lbs. If I didn't know better, I'd say that DeNiro stole LaMotta's soul.... At any rate, this movie is to die for. You cannot call yourself a film buff if you haven't seen this movie. I'd give it six stars (out of five!). Buy it, rent it, steal it, kill for it, do anything to see it!!!
