Raging Bull (1980)

Singly one of the toughest, but equally most enjoyable films I've watched for this project, Raging Bull is a long hard event of a film. The rise and excruciatingly painful fall of a boxer is equally wonderous and pitifully shameful.

At one point in this film, there is what could be my favourite film shot of all time. Even though I've only seen it once, it goes for about a minute - maybe more. One singular shot which shows our hero preparing in his dressing room, out of it, down several corridors, up stairs and finally raising into the air. Simply amazing.
