IDK but Rocky winning Best Picture over Network, All the President's Men, and Taxi Driver is mind-blowing. To me it is up there with any of the oscar travesties. I love the series but especially Network and Taxi Driver are elite. The first hour of Rocky makes me want to nap.


To each their own.

Rocky and Field of Dreams are my 2 all time favorites.

There is a reason why there are 5 rocky films, balboa, and the Creed spinoff.

It is timeless.

I'm surprised that Hollywood hasn't done a real Chuck Wepner movie.
Cinderella Man, The Fighter.
They could keep churning out great movies in the genre. I haven't understood where the actual biography went from Rocky.

The first Rocky is a classic akin to On The Waterfront.
There were so many sequels that it kind of dilutes the greatness of the original film.
Rocky became a caricature.
Kind of the same way that Elvis became a fat white-jumpsuit wearing caricature to the point where people forget what an amazing voice he had.

i love the rocky movies but Rocky isn't a better movie than All the presidents Men, Network, or taxi driver.

Those movies still hold up today and don't have long boring stretches like first hour of rocky
