Raging Bull
Fans show up for Raging Bull. At 44% across 82 head-to-head matchups, it loses often — but the people who love it don't hesitate. De Niro's most physically committed performance in a film that asks viewers to sit with someone deeply unlikeable. Respect for the craft is universal; affection for the experience is not. 1.7s per vote suggests strong instincts. Most voters arrive at this matchup already knowing which way they lean.
Synopsis
The life of boxer Jake LaMotta, whose violence and temper that led him to the top in the ring destroyed his life outside of it.
The conviction is spread across every round: 41%, 55%, 36%. Not enough to win any single stage, but present everywhere — a loyal minority that doesn't waver regardless of the competition.
The closest rivalry is with The Departed at 54% — a matchup tight enough that a handful of votes could flip the lead. Jurassic Park at 33% is the toughest opponent in Raging Bull's bracket life.
The path through Spielberg vs. Scorsese always ends the same way for Raging Bull: a final against Taxi Driver, a 60% loss rate. So close and so consistent.
Near the top of Martin Scorsese's 4-film lineup on BingeBracket. The Departed at 60% is the benchmark; Raging Bull at #3 isn't far behind.
Dead last in Spielberg vs. Scorsese.
