Entertainment Weekly’s January 11th issue looks at “The 100 Must-See DVDs.” Rocky is picked as a dvd in “the perfect collection.” Sly makes the cover and in a small pic in the article (as Rocky).
Rocky, 1976 MGM, PG, $19.98 The franchise it spawned quickly lapsed into self-parody, but writer-star Sylvester Stallone‘s parable of redemption remains not only the sports-film paragon but one of the most successful low-budget movies ever. Why? In a decade of war, scandal, and economic decay, the Best Picture winner was, simply, the right film at the right time.
