The Champ
The best thing about having your kid in your corner during a boxing match is that you can use them as a shield if your opponent is too strong.
And while the father of the boy in this drama would never do anything that horrendous to his son, his mother sure would.
Raised on the road by his father Billy (Jon Voight), a third-rate boxer, T.J. (Ricky Schroder) is caught off-guard when his absentee mother, Annie (Faye Dunaway), reenters their lives.
Re-married, with the means to provide T.J. with a future beyond seedy bouts in broke down honky-tonks, Annie's interference inspires Billy to commence training for his imminent return to the ring.
A candid portrayal of paternal love, The Champ delivers uplifting uppercuts and rousing right-hooks directly to your soft spot.
Besides, boxers make for perfect parents; thanks to their concussions, they're at roughly the same stage of brain development. (Yellow Light)
