| 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 |
