    The honorable mention Body Slam did a lot of filming in my hometown. The scene at the hospital was just down the street from my house.

    Definitely agree with The Wrestler. That movie was magic to any wrestling fan. It really drives home what these guys go through, and what it's like to be "past your prime", having previously thought yourself immortal.
    To put it simply, it's pretty telling about the accuracy of the portrayal, when it LITERALLY brought tears to so many of the legends of the WWE, at the premiere.

    In Mexico we use to have a complete genre of wrestlers. The popularity peak was in the 60's and got figures like El Santo, Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras. The movies were like B explotation films, mostly horror and science fiction related, have a lot of cliche monsters like aliens, vampires, werewolves, mumies... all that shit. Although wasn't a genre known by his quality spawm a huge industry with dozens of films and a strong following to this day.

    The Masked Saint is a good wrestling film, it even has the late great Rowdy Roddy Piper in it. It's about a Preacher who retires from wrestling but picks it back up again to keep his church going, and by night he does some vigilante work. Last time I checked it was on Netflix.

    When watching The Wrestler, i feel like Randy "The Ram" Robinson is a real wrestling character from the 1980's, not "just" a character in a movie. Hardest part of the movies is the autograph signing scene, where you can see how they sacrifised their bodies to entertain their fans, and only very few people shows up to meet them. That movie is a true masterpiece.

    The wrestler was a amazing movie and I'm not a wrestling fan but Mickey Rourke was absolutely awesome in it, he is one of my favorite actors even though he has been through the ringer and looks totally different after the bad plastic surgery he had still an amazing actor!!

    I agree with the many comments below that "Vision Quest" definitely should have made this list instead of just getting a last second honorable mention. "Legendary" was pretty damn good as well, and it didn't even get an honorable mention. Aside from "Foxcatcher", it would have been more honest if they had just called this Top 10 Best Pro Wrestling Movies and created an entirely separate list for the others.

  • @lucadynamo3758

    The Masked Saint belonged on this list. An underrated biopic based on The Saint, a wrestler who later became a priest, this film was both enthralling to me as a wrestling fan, but it was the last known film to star the late, great WWE Hall of Famer, Rowdy Roddy Piper #RIP

  • @jskf622
    @jskf622 7 років тому

    Here are my picks for top 10 best Wrestling movies (I'm only including pro wrestling so that means no amateur wrestling films, though I do recommend vision quest.)
    10) The Wrestler (from the 1970's, not the one you are thinking. I will get to that)
    9) bodyslam
    8) Ready to Rumble
    7) Requiem of a heavyweight
    6) Nacho Libra
    5) Wrestlers .vs. Zombies (don't question, just look for it)
    4) Bret Hart: Wrestling with Shadows (yes, the film documenting the events leading to the Montreal Screw Job)
    3) The Wrestler (the one with Micky Rourck)(i think I spelled his name right)
    2) Beyond the Mat
    1) The resurrection of Jake the snake Roberts
    Man on the Moon gets an Honorable Mention even though it has more to do with Andy Kauffman's life than his short stint as a wrestler,but he did play a part in the wrestling community. A very very small part, and I am not sure if what he did should is considered wrestling. Though Jim Ross and Jerry the king Lawler are in it.
