Plus 100.
I saw "Rocky" when it first opened...what was that...30 years ago? No one had ever heard of this guy named "Sylvester". I just wanted to go to a movie and its playing time was right for me. I LOVED the movie. It is still a great movie unlike all its cheesy sequels. It was nominated as Best Picture but I honestl don't remember if it won it or not. And if I remember correctly Stallone was nominated as Best Director. It won one of those...
I don't blame Stallone for making them or the movie company either. Money is money. The original story was touching, well acted, a memorable movie. The others (except Rocky Balboa - an Honorable effort in my opinion) were poor....entertaining a bit, but poor movies.
