My favourite film: Raging Bull

Peter Bradshaw rings the opening bell on our writers' favourite films series by championing Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull

Peter Bradshaw

When I first saw it, I was 19 years old; it was at the Screen on the Hill cinema in North London, now renamed the Everyman Belsize Park. When it was all over, I felt exhausted, but also possessed of a strange need to scream, or laugh, or run all the way home, or pick up parked cars and flip them over. The film was Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull – or, to give it the title that appeared on screen, RagingBull; it was run together, like GoodFellas.
