If you loved The Dead, try Fat City

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What Fat City is

Rocky without the fanfare. A past-his-prime boxer meets a promising young fighter and sees a chance at redemption through training him. Huston's gritty, clear-eyed take on the sport offers no easy outs.
