Love him or hate him there is no denying that 1976s Rocky is Sylvester Stallone's masterpiece and a wonderful piece of Cinema history. Rocky is a bum who boxes for money is abandoned churches to make ends meat and a debt collector for the local loan shark. Look falls Rockys way when the heavyweight champion of the world Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) needs a fighter for his News Years Day fight, the United States Bicentennial.
The film is two hours of magic with a wonderful performance from Burgess Meredith who plays Rockys trainer Mickey. This is a classic and was nominated for 10 Oscars in 1976 winning three, including Best Picture.
