"Rocky" #1 Again!

SZoner, Cameron Taylor wrote in to say that Moviefone selected “Rocky” as their #1 Sports Movie of All Time. Here’s what they had to say:

#1 “Rocky” The fist-pumping score, the charismatic turn by Sly Stallone, the glorious training montage, the pitch-perfect ending in which Rocky shows the champ what “showtime at the Apollo” really means … All these make it the gold standard by which all sports flicks are measured. Yo, if there’s a more deserving No. 1 movie, punch us in the face.

Here’s a link to the entire list. Thanks to Cameron for sharing! – Craig
