My top 15 favorite oscar nominated films of the 1980s: #2 Raging Bull (1980) Directed by Martin Scorsese Starring: Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty. Nominated for 8 academy awards and won 2 for editing and leading actor (De Niro). An emotionally self-destructive boxers journey through life, as the violence and temper that leads him to the top of the ring, destroys his life outside it. This is the film where Martin Scorsese should have gotten his first of 3 best director oscars IMO. Robert De Niro plays Jake La Motta so fantastically well that he completely disappears into the character. Joe Pesci as his little brother Joey and Cathy Moriarty as his wife Vickie also do an amazing job but is De Niros movie. Raging Bull is my pick for the 1980 best picture oscar winner that originally went to Robert Redfords Ordinary People. What does the M4s think of this film?
