Daniel Neman of The Richmond Times Dispatch
in his August 4, 2006 column takes a look at his "All-Time
Best" sports movies. Neman lists five movies
and "Rocky" makes the cut. Here's what he says:
| "Rocky," 1976. The ultimate
underdog story is told with a seemingly limitless reserve of
heart. Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote the script,
skillfully wrung every dram of emotion out of the story and
made a feel-good movie about a guy who actually loses the big
fight. It is only when he started winning them, in the sequels,
that the character became less interesting. |
Thirty years later and "Rocky"
is still getting props. And rightly so. For the full report, click
