Audiences and critics alike cheered this American success story of an "everyman" triumphing over all odds. Featuring a dynamic musical score, a thrilling fight sequence and four Oscar(r) - nominated* performances, this rousing crowd-pleaser will send spirits soaring. Fighting for love, glory and self-respect, Rocky(r) scores an exultant knockout! Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is a Philadelphia club fighter who seems to be going nowhere. But whena stroke of fate puts him in the ring with a world heavyweight champion, Rocky knows that it's his one shot at the big time - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go the distance and come out a winner! *1976: Actor (Stallone), Actress (Talia Shire), Supporting Actor (Burgess Meredith, Burt Young), Director (won), Original Screenplay, Original Song, Editing (won), Sound Amazon.com: The only remaining evidence that Sylvester Stallone might have had a respectable career, this 1976 Oscar® winner (for Best Picture, Director, and Editing) is still the quintessential ode to an underdog and one of the best boxing movies ever made. After writing the script about a two-bit boxer who gets a "million-to-one shot" against the world heavyweight champion, Stallone insisted that he star in the title role, and his equally unknown status helped to catapult him (and this rousing film) to overnight success. The story is familiar, but it's handled with such vitality and emotional honesty that you can't help but leap and cheer for Rocky Balboa, the chump-turned-champ who stuns the boxing world with the support of his timid girlfriend Adrian (Talia Shire) and grizzled trainer Gus (Burgess Meredith). Oscar nominations went to all the lead actors (including Burt Young as Adrian's hot-tempered brother), but four sequels could never top the universal appeal of this low-budget crowd pleaser. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:

Read More Rating:  - Rocky DVDThe case was extremely thin, not like a normal DVD case. However, it was worth the price. I gave it a 3 because I did not like the movie. I had bought it for my boyfriend, who does like it. Rating: - The Greatest Sports Movie of All TimeIf I could give 10 stars to a movie, I would and I'd give it to Rocky. Rocky is one of those timeless movies you will never forget once you see it. Sylvester Stallone did a fabulous job as the screen writer, director, and portraying this legendary character as well. I beleive Rocky will go down in history as the greatest sports movie of all time in anybody's book. Rocky Balboa(Sylvester Stallone) is a young, new, upcoming ameteur boxer in the city of Philadeplhia. After coming off a big fight ... Read More Rating: - This movie has heart.This movie has heart: it has the look and feel of inner-city or working class Philadelphia. The characters are rich in texture. As I watched the movie, I felt for all of them. They are the kind of people that I grew up with: uneducated, loud-mouthed, prone to emotional outbursts-but each has a secret tragedy underneath their blaring exterior. The acting is, in that regard, brilliant; from the lead players (Rocky and Adrian) to the supporting characters like Paulie, Mickey, even the antagonist Apollo Creed. ... Read More Rating: - Great film, bad coverIt's happening again. I'm watching movies in completely the wrong order. I watched Back To The Future in the wrong order (three, two and then one!), and now I'm watching the Rocky movies in the wrong order. The first one I saw was Rocky Balboa, and then the one with Dolph Lundgren. And now I've seen the first one. In my current workplace, we have these talking keychains, tacky stuff that insist on charging a fortune for, and they feature lines from popular films. We've had Dirty Dancing, Scarface, ...
