Gives me chills to this day

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2019)

If anyone out there wants an adrenaline rush, watch Rocky. I was too young to see it when it first came out, but I remember hearing my father tell me that he couldn't sleep that night after he saw it back in 1976. To this day he says that is the only film that had that impact on him. When I finally saw it later, it had the same impact on me. From the inspirational score, to it's climactic ending; this is my "desert island" film.
The scene that gets me every time? When the fight is over. The scores are being announced. And Rocky could care less about the results. Instead screaming at the top of his lungs for Adrian. The only person in his life who ever cared about him as a man and not the dumb punching bag he is perceived to be by so many in his life.
