My Favorite Sports Movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 1999)

The first "Rocky" film is proudly my favorite sports film. Stallone is brilliant as young Balboa in a triumph of the human spirit. The music from Bill Conti is stellar, in additon to the directorial work of John G. Avildsen. I can say right now that I would pay theater money to see this masterpiece on the big screen. "Rocky" is just as enjoyable as the original "Karate Kid".
