The Greatest

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2004)

I have often asked people to define a classic but no-one can really do it. The best explanation or 'definition' is Rocky. Rocky is powerful, popular, dated but still loved and a foundation for many newer film makers. Forgetting Sylvesters film debut which we all know was a porn film, his first real film was Rocky and it was a huge success. Everyone except for a few rare people absolutely love it and the reason is not clear, it was low budget and Sly was an unknown (except for those who watched his first film). But the film made it, or for Rocky fans like myself, it went the distance.
That, is a classic to me, other people might think different but I just want to say that it (and its sequels) are fantastic and will never be forgotten.
