What can be said about Rocky at this point that hasn't already made it's way into these comments? I watched it over the weekend again and it is always a good decision. Now getting well into my 30's it holds an even closer appeal to me. The acting, the story, the music... the raw Philadelphia backdrop...quite possibly the perfect movie. Stallone would never be this textured again. Too bad his legacy has become diluted with Rhinestone and Stop or My Mom Will Shoot, or even Rocky V. Can't say that I'm looking forward to the sixth installment of the Rocky franchise, but I won't let that take away from this great film. This needs to be in the IMDb top 250, in fact, it's just plain ridiculous that it's not. Raging Bull was excellent, but the pace and the characters had nothing on this film, which makes it the greatest boxing movie ever.
