Looking for movies about fighters/boxers/wrestlers that focus on redemption or comebacks

Some of what I've enjoyed:

-Southpaw
-The Fighter
-Jungleland
-The Wrestler
-Homeboy
-Raging Bull
-A Prayer Before Dawn

and of course the Rocky movies. Foreign films are welcome but I'm not looking for Bruce Lee/Ip Man style choreographed martial arts, more slugfests

Looking for stuff like the Station Agent and Bagdad Cafe. Unlikely friendships between outsiders, preferably quite low stakes and quiet.

Looking for fun uplifting/cathartic anti-colonialist movies in the style of RRR. Doesn't have to be an action movie, but I'm looking for something vibrant and entertaining rather than super serious.

Thanks for the recs. I've seen most of them with Bacurau being a notable exception. It looks very cool.

I could imagine there being some angles you could find Ghibli's output to be anti colonialist. The negative encroachment of "civilisation" on nature is a pretty common theme in those movies, so colonial parallels could be found.

Looking for an action movie with soul. Good action, but also something underpinning it - relatable character motivations etc. I feel Point Break is a good example of this despite how ridiculous the concept is.

I'm making a list of the greatest popular movies that I've never seen. My list so far is very male-dominated. What are some of the best, famous movies starring women that I should watch? Right now I've got:
