Rocky

We've been making out way through the "Rocky" 1-6 DVD box-set (called "The Heavyweight Collection"), which I bought on Sunday. So far, we have watched the first three Sylvester Stallone boxing epics. Of course, the standout film is the 1976 original, which is a wonderful feel-good movie about a small time boxer who as the under-dog captures the imagination of the public as he fights the World Champion. A truly brilliant film, excellent script and great characters, which won three Oscars and was a huge box office success.

We've also enjoyed watching the other films in the series, and seeing the style of the films change (because of political climate and culture) as we go through the late 1970s and into the 1980's.
