Logline: Jake LaMotta’s a force to be reckoned with in the ring, showing opponents zero mercy. However, as he treats his family in a similarly brutal manner–he discovers that he’s going to end up a lonely has-been.
Memorable Moments: Such rage, such on-the-verge of destroying everything he has: Jake finally discovers from his wife, Vickie, that she did indeed ‘f***’ [sic] his brother and practically the whole neighborhood. He unleashes a brutal beating on both his wife and his brother, Joey.
Why People Love It: With Robert De Niro already-then an established star, it wasn’t hard for moviegoers to instantly identify with some character (or another) in Raging Bull.
Best Quote: Joey LaMotta (Joe Pesci): “If you win, you win. If you lose, you still win.”
