The Champ
One of my 2 favorite movies, but prepare the tissues because you WILL shed a couple of tears. It's a drama so younger viewers my not appreciate it, but if you're looking for a GREAT storyline and acting, this is one to watch

Well, I know a lot of people like this film, but I have to tell it like it is!......it's not a very good remake at all! Schroder may be adorable, but he is way out of his league going up against Jackie Cooper and although the rest of the cast are top notch, this film feels like a bad TV movie! The first problem is Schroder is too young for the role to be taken for more than sympathy and it's no more than a manipulative trick. I'm not saying Schroder didn't do a fine job, but it's easy to feel sorry for such a little tike crying over his fallen hero who is also his father! If you like the story, watch the original, it's infinitely better than this Hollywood mediocre melodrama.

When I seen The Champ was finally available to buy, I was besides myself with excitement. For I remember every heartbreaking scene from when I used to watch it, over and over again, when I was just a kid. The thrill of watching this film is still with me, 10 years later.
There are no words I can use to articulate quite how wonderful The Champ is. Containing one of, if not thee, greatest child actor performances, from Ricki Schroder. No human being has loved another human being, as much as this kid loves The Champ. The Champ being the character of Billy (Jon Voight), down on his luck, ex champion fighter and current gambler and wanderer, father to little JD (Schroder).
When I was nine, ten, eleven years-old this film reduced me to a distraught state of mind, literally. Heartbreaking, tender, thoughtful, enchanting, it still breaks my heart today.
Warning; The Champ contains the most heart wrenching and deeply painful scene in movie history!!...
