Movies that feel likeRaging Bull (1980)
If you loved Raging Bull, the closest films we have are The Magician (1958), Public Enemies (2009) and Dogtooth (2009). All three share Raging Bull's contemplative and paranoid feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Last Wave (1977).

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

Both keep coming back to the same thing: paranoia
The difference: Made in the 2000s, in a different era of the craft

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

Contemplative and paranoid in the same breath
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Raging Bull does

Drama with a pulse of scale, in both cases
The difference: 28 years apart, and the 2000s show

Both lean on stillness more than on history


New York City shapes both of them

Contemplative history in both cases

Drama built on paranoia, twice over

Drama approached the same way
