There are something like 8 or nine "rocky" films, isn't that enough?

Yeah there was a lot, but I always thought the first Rocky film was the best of the bunch.

"best of the bunch"?

None of the rest were worth a shit, IMHO.

Raging Bull. DeNiro was at his peak as an actor. It's a shame he's lost his mind.

I gotta agree with you,
The first Rocky movie was great.
The 2nd one was kinda ok.
All the rest were pathetic.

Rocky III was perhaps the gayest movie ever. Rocky IV could have been an actual cartoon. Rocky V was painfully stupid. I kinda liked the "Creed" movies, although that actor always looks like he has a mouth guard in, and that actress is a little hard to believe as his "love interest."

I've watched Raging Bull twice.
First time because movie critics raved about it.
Second time to see if I missed something.
And I still don't get why it's soo popular?
To me it was just a boring waste of time.

All the lists are short in this thread because boxing is very limited in technique and appeal. The movie field widens if we include other martial arts.

The Champ both versions.
Rocky movies the first were okay not great, Great acting by supporting players. I liked the music scores best. Watching Mr T emulate Joe Frazier was good in 3
Raging Bull A good gritty film about a real life fighter.
Million Dollar baby was Great .
