Movies that feel likeRaging Bull (1980)
If you loved Raging Bull, the closest films we have are The Magician (1958), Public Enemies (2009) and Silence (2016). All three share Raging Bull's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Room 237 (2012).

If Raging Bull hit the spot, these will too

One thread runs through both: paranoia
The difference: Takes it somewhere less epic than Raging Bull does

Common ground: biography
The difference: Sits closer to crime than Raging Bull does

Martin Scorsese directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: 36 years apart, and the 2010s show

Both keep coming back to the same thing: paranoia

Both are built on the same subject: biography
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both land stillness and scale at once

Both lean on paranoia more than on drama
The difference: Leans harder into adventure than Raging Bull does

Contemplative history, and it commits to that

Drama with a pulse of scale, in both cases

Paranoid history in both cases


New York City shapes both of them
