#4 When We Were Kings
This documentary film was directed by Leon Gast in 1996 and it’s about the epic battle between two heavyweight champions – Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. The fight was famously known as the “Rumble in the Jungle” which was held in Zaire on October 30, 1974.
The film is dramatic and music powered, which features a number of celebrities like Jim Brown, B.B. King, Spike Lee, Thomas Hauser, George Plimpton, Norman Mailer and James Brown. It shows a great buildup to one of the greatest boxing matches in history and if you love Muhammad Ali, you would just be in awe of the film.
The documentary has won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and it took 22 years for Gast to edit and release the film.
Guess the Lakers players!
