Although Rocky did not triumph in the fight, he did win the bigger battle of launching a series of money making sequels and vaulted Stallone into the role of superstar actor. Yes, you must see this one."

And to think that this is said to be Stallone's idea through and through, that says something about the man. To say that this is the best sports or fight film of all time is selling it short. Rocky is one of the greatest movies of all time. Period."

I dont even remember when did i watch this but it is still clear with me that this movie has touched my heart as just like with the character of Stallone he also sold his dog for money which i did. I can really relate to this not on the boxing part though."

While the page does offer the ability to purchase a digital copy or stream a copy of the movie. It's definitely possible to just outright purchase the movie on either DVD or Blu-ray for much less."
