When We Were Kings

When We Were Kings    [trailer]

A documentary of the 1974 heavyweight championship bout in Zaire, "The Rumble in the Jungle," between champion George Foreman and underdog challenger Muhammad Ali.

One of the best docs, about a legendary fight and the circumstances of the event. Informative, entertaining and moving. It's always worth a re-watch.

Ali is such a great personality. And such a funny guy.
