My favorite film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2014)

Before I say anything, I just want everyone to know that Rocky is my favorite movie of all time.
Everything in this movie is simply excellent. Sylvester Stallone gives such a good perfomence that makes Rocky an instantly lovable character. But it's not just his acting that makes this cast perfect. Thalia Shire (as Adrian), Burt Young (as Paulie) and Burgess Meredith (as Micky) all do an excellent job making these characters believable and likable.
And of course I can't talk about Rocky without talking about its soundtrack. The Rocky theme by Bill Conti is one of the most memorable notes of film history.
But in my opinion, the best aspect of Rocky is its story. Sylvester Stallone wrote his screenplay about an underdog getting the chance of his life to rise to the top and he will fight till the end. It gave me and many other people something very few films could since then: and that's motivation to go on and fight for my dreams no matter what.
Thank you for reading!
