Raging Bull is a 1980 biographical drama based on the autobiography "Raging Bull: My Story" by boxer Jake LaMotta. Although initial reception was mixed, it is now considered one of the great sports films, and consistently ranks among the best American films of all time.

Trivia:

In the scene where Jackie asks Joey "Did you fuck my wife?" Scorsese told De Niro to say "Did you fuck your mother?" in order to elicit a more genuine "What?" reaction.

Quote: Jake La Motta

And though I’m no Olivier, if he fought Sugar Ray. He would say that the thing ain’t the ring, it’s the play. So, give me a stage where this bull here can rage, and though I can fight, I’d much rather recite. That’s entertainment.
