Sly Stallone’s All-Time 10 Best Movies!
Colin McCormick at ScreenRant decided to do a little research and came up with the 10 Best Sylvester Stallone Films, According To IMDb. Well, you know me and lists. Below I’ve compared the IMDb rankings to mine followed by my thoughts…

10. Rocky IV (1985:) 6.9 |
10. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 (2017) |

9. Cop Land (1997): 6.9 |
9. Rocky IV (1985) |
|
8. Rambo (2008): 7.0 |
8. Creed II (2018) |
|
7. Rocky Balboa (2006): 7.1 |
7. Rocky II (1979) |
|
6. Creed II (2018): 7.1 |
6. Creed (2015) |
|
5. Rocky II (1979) 7.3 |
5. First Blood (1982) |
|
4. Creed (2015): 7.6 |
4. Rocky Balboa (2006) |
|
3. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 (2017): 7.6 |
3. Rambo (2008) |
|
2. First Blood (1982): 7.7 |
2. Cop Land (1997) |
|
1. Rocky (1976): 8.1 |
1. Rocky (1976) |
The IMDb list is a good one. For my rankings, I put a little more emphasis on the films that starred Sly than for one’s where he co-starred or had a cameo (GotG2). Creed rated higher than Rocky 2 because of Sly’s performance. He should have received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Had I made the Top Ten List I would have tried to find a way to include Nighthawks and Get Carter… Paradise Alley and FIST… but there are just too many Stallone favorites to list just ten. Still, it was a fun exercise. Your mileage may differ, but give it a shot!
