Ali (2001) -- M. Mann
I watched this just after Spike Lee's Malcolm X...and it pales in comparison. Both are long biopics, both include Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam. However, Ali contains a lot of Michael Mann-styled boxing sequences (all color and light) and is more mood than story. I know, what did I expect? Voight's impersonation of Howard Cosell is grotesque. (2008 review).
