Rocky (1976)

from Sibling Cinema Hosted by Bonnie and Dennis

Episode 44: ROCKY We're heading back to the 1970's, with John Avildsen's 1976 classic underdog tale, Rocky. Written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, this story of a Philadelphia-based, down-on-his-luck boxer who gets the opportunity of his life from heavy-weight champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Rocky's changing fortunes also impact his inner circle: girlfriend Adrian (Talia Shire), his coach Mickey (Burgess Merideth), and Adrian's brother Paulie (Burt Young). Rocky won the Best Picture Academy Award (TM) for 1976 against some fierce competition and ranks #26 on our countdown. Join us next week for the 1930 version of the war epic All Quiet on the Western Front. Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
