Bound by Honor (1993)
A powerful story of brothers trapped in the Los Angeles gang scene.
I encountered this movie on late-night cable one evening, and was completely blown away. The character development in the film is refreshingly full, and the acting in the movie is outstanding, from both lead characters and supporting cast.
The one possible downside to this movie is it's long length (3 hours) however the movie is so full, that there are no real lulls in the story.
Use the washroom before it starts, make a little extra popcorn, and bring an extra coke or beer, since once this movie starts, you're liable to be hooked.
Streets of Gold (1986)
Sweeping sports saga of olympic boxing hopefulls
There aren't too many sports-centered stories I've seen that are quite as well done as "Streets of Gold." The character development is well done, and the pace of the story is lively. The acting is good, and the dialogue engaging.
This is a story that I'm guessing most sports-fans will enjoy, but has enough depth to make it appealing to those who usually prefer something with a bit more emotional depth.
