RAGING BULL (30th Anniversary Edition) Blu-ray Giveaway

The legendary film RAGING BULL is finally available on BLU-RAY, and to celebrate we are giving you a chance to win a copy! We contemplated putting you in the ring with some boxers… winner take all… but APPARENTLY there are laws against that. So instead, how about a good old fashioned contest?

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment & MGM Home Entertainment are releasing RAGING BULL: 30th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray on January 11, 2011. Martin Scorsese’s film was previously released on Blu-ray in 2009, but this time we’re offering our loyal WAMG readers the chance to win a copy for their own collection.

Robert De Niro teams with director Martin Scorsese in this “extraordinarily compelling” (Leonard Maltin) film that introduced unflinching realism to stunned audiences in 1980. An “exceedingly violentas well as poetic” fight picture that maps “the landscape of the soul” (The New York Times), Raging Bull garnered eight Oscar® nominations* and won two, including Best Actor for De Niro. De Niro gives the performance of his career as Jake La Motta, a boxer whose psychological and sexual complexities erupt into violence both in and out of the ring. Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty are unforgettable as the brother who falls prey to Jake’s mounting paranoia and jealousy, and the fifteen-year-old girl who becomes his most prized trophy. A “brilliantly photographed film of extraordinary power and rare distinction” (The Wall Street Journal), Raging Bullis filmmaking at its riveting best.
