The movie that started it all. Rocky has exactly the right mix of intense boxing action, and a story that has a ton of depth, heart and soul behind it.

The film is very intresting. Rocky displays each character having their own emotional voyage discovering themselves. Such as Rocky discovering he can find happiness with boxing and Adrian, he just has to believe he can, snd work for it, and Adrian learns that she can find love with Rocky, you just got to give a person a chance, and Apollo Creed discovers a true fighter such as Rocky come from heart and soul.

Overall, Rocky was a sports film that took the genre to a whole new level with it's emotional depth and great characters.

You've seen the 60 year old Italian Stallion, Sylvester Stallone, recently in an inspirational on-screen and off-screen battle against the odds with 'Rocky Balboa'. Now you can go back 25 years to where it all began. In 1976, this classic about an unknown has-been boxer given a chance to fight the World Champion, came out of nowhere to pick up three Oscars including Best Picture. Written in just three days by Stallone, the film produces some truly great characters in Rocky, Apollo Creed, Mickey and Paulie. More a film about people and heart than boxing, but damn that's immense too. The two-disc special edition (UK)has extras that span 9 hours including 3 commentaries, one with Sly himself. An absolute must for die-hards and curious folk alike.

The Rocky series is one of the biggest series of movies ever, both in length, and in popularity. But, the movie that started it all, was 1976's "Rocky"

The film focuses on Rocky Balboa (Stallone), a ametuer boxer who is down on his luck, with a small apartment, and stuck in a "money collecting" job. Meanwhile, Apollo Creed, the reining champ of boxing, needs more publicity, and organises to allow one rookie boxer to have a shot at the title, and that one rookie, is Rocky Balboa.

Despite being filmed with an EXTREMELY low budget, this film still is head and shoulders above movies of today. This is mostly because, it is the greatest underdog story around, and is what spawned the many parodies and rip offs which plague Hollywood and the small screen today. The acting is great, and though Rocky mumbles a lot, if you actually want to sit and watch, you can understand, and he often says what's on his mind. These lines are funny, emotional, and deep. The fight scenes are top notch, and you'll actually be on your seat, cheering for Rocky as if it was a real match.

Overall, Rocky is one of those must see films which defined an entire generation, and I have to say, it changed my life, and taught me to take risks.
