Now that "Cinderella Man" is out and
doing well,
writers are creating their lists of the best boxing
movies ever. I'm happy to say that "Rocky"
is
always listed and usually at the top.
Joe
Holleman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch ranks
"Rocky" at #2 and says, "Sylvester
Stallone
reinvented the underdog film with this Best Picture
Oscar winner."
Louis
B. Hobson of the Winnipeg Sun writes: Stallone
deserves kudos for writing and starring in a simple,
time-honoured story told with style, heart and passion.
Stallone made Rocky Balboa a symbol of the
extraordinary things ordinary people can achieve if they
have a dream and the passion to pursue it.
Nearly 30 years later, "Rocky" is
still the standard! - Craig
