I loved this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 1999)

Rocky (played by Sylvester Stallone)is a down on his luck boxer. His main job though is collecting money for a lone shark named Tony Gazzo. He lives in a rundown apartment, and is secretly is in love with his friend Paulie's (Burt Young) sister Adrian(Talia Shire). He is like her. On the outside they look like nobodies. But when you look closer at the both of them they are people, that if someone believed in them, would succeed in life. Rocky's luck changes when the Heavyweight Champion of the World Apollo Creed(Carl Weathers) needs an opponent for a title match. Apollo picks him and believes he will definitely win the match, so he doesn't train hard. This movie will remind you of the tortoise and the hare. A trainer at Rocky's gym, Mickey(Burgess Merideth) takes it upon himself to train Rocky. The movie produces one of the most grueling and realistic training scenes ever.
