Here is what I have...best to worst:

Rocky 4
Rocky 3
Rocky 2
Rocky Balboa
Rocky
Rocky 5

Give me a couple of days before someone does the Rambo poll. I still haven't watched the last one.

Best training montage ever!

For me, it is #3. "Get up you son of a b-tch, cuz Mickey loves ya!"

Wouldnt mind a re-release of a Rocky pin...

Mr. T says Rocky III Fool! images.jpeg

Trick question. There's no such thing as a good rocky film.

I love them all but hey i am from the neighborhood so i gots to love them right a yoooooo.

But really 3 and 4 are prob my favorite. I have not been home in years did they move the statue to the new spectrum?

This thread makes me want to go to Geno's and hey when i am done there i wanna walk across the street to Pats for a Wiz Wit

I can't believe anybody would pick anything other than the first movie which I think is the best by far.

Rocky 1 is the best film. He lays the ground work for that character with no happy fairy tale ending he loses. 4 and 3 have the best training montage but the film all around is 1. It has such a great story not just I got beat I'm gunna train I win. It goes deeper than that.

"This guy'll kill you to death!"

What does that even Mean?!

Rocky 1 & 2 are the best..they kinda go together. Very different as the other ones get a little more "entertaining" than story telling.

I love 3 for the fun factor, clubber lang etc.....

The Rocky 4 training scenes for the battle with Drago are Epic as is the match.

5 sucked

Rocky Balboa was a good movie I enjoyed it.

Best Rocky film?The one with Bullwinkle

(Rocky Horror)

Got to say 4 was the best in my opinion. Interesting how at the end Rocky was saying how if he could change, everybody could change. Seems that relationships with Russia really have changed alot since that movie.

Comming from T....it makes sense fool. Or does T have to knock some into you....

I will break you

I'm more of a 1 - 3 and done kinda guy.

Everything else was a repeat.

-Al-

I agree with all of this. The first two movies may not be as "fun" as 3 and 4, but they are better films with a lot of drama and great character development. Rocky 5 did indeed suck. Rocky Balboa, on the other hand, was surprisingly good.

Waddawe waitin fur!!??

AZ:

Yo! Forget Genos and just get two at Pats- muchroom, peppa, pizza wit. what part of philly you from? where did you go to HS?

Guessing that quote was from Mickey (Burgess Merideth), not Mr. T.

Dan

Ive seen all many, many times. Rocky 2 is by far the best. The whole Adrian/coma thing and her waking up to inspire Rocky to train and win is one of the best clips in movie history. I cannot watch that hospital scene without tearing up and getting goosebumps.

Adrian: There's one thing I want you to do for me..
Rocky: what's dat..
Adrian: Win! ... WIN!

Mick: Whadda we waitin' fo?!!

Cue the music.

UNREAL SCENE.

Ah, so that's where your screen name comes from. Cheese Whiz!!!

Rocky! Nice writing, great acting. The best one without a doubt.

Newcastle De, Willam Penn Prison i mean High school. 20 minutes over the bridge from Philly. I could see 3 mile island from my house. So i got the food from Philly and the stank that comes from NJ......that has multiple meanings too.(Women, Bud, Two Bit thugs)

Lived in Old Newcastle for most of my life. Loved it near the harbor. Pea Patch Island was just down the street. I Lived real close to rte 9

Got to go with the original. You would never have 5 other Rocky films without this classic.

First one best film for sure. 3 prob the most watchable.

By the 4th one, which is a classic, the 'Rocky Rule of Montages' becomes a little much. 4th movie, 4 montages...gets crazy. I actually didn't mind 5 that much.

They are all really great...I have them on DVD...will go watch now Like I said though you cant beat 1/2 combo. Great films that can be enjoyed by a woman as well for the love story drama. 3/4 may be more enjoyable for the male watcher.

4 hands down

Yes, the first one is the better movie, I know that. But if I would have the choice I would watch number 3 again, so I vote for "The eye of the tiger".

rocky 5 was the best. actually had the most indepth story and character development out of all the rocky movies.

The original was the best. 2 was good too and 3 had some good stuff. After those it just got silly.

The original Rocky was and is a masterpiece of low budget movie-making. If you haven't seen the directors cut (I'm sure you all have) you need to. The intro scene is the best ever, and the extras on disc two are pretty fun.

I like all the movies, I'm a sucker for a good sports/conquer all odds type movie so Rocky is a shoe-in. I though Rocky Balboa was good too, he tied up both the Rocky and Rambo characters quite well in my opinion.

I also really like Million Dollar Baby, Gladiator (the boxing movie with Cuba Gooding Jr.), and Cinderella Man. There's a moment in Gladiator where Robert Loggia (Pappy Jack) is talking to the main character and laughs such an evil/manipulative laugh, it's a classic moment.

3 hands down, Even Hulk Hogan was perfect, but Mr T. was the man:

Clubber Lang: [Calling to Adrian; Smooth talks] Hey, Woman. Hey, Woman! Listen here. Since your old man ain't got no heart, maybe you like to see a real man. I bet you stay up late every night dreamin' you had a real man, don't ya? I'll tell you what. Bring your pretty little self over to my apartment tonight, and I'll show you a real man.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR 5 MINUTES GOING BACK AND FORTH AND I CANNOT MAKE UP MY MIND!!! THIS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER!!!!! IT'S DRIVING ME MAD!!!! I LOVE ALL OF THE MOVIES EXCEPT FOR 5.

Sorry about the caps guys, my mind went on overload trying to decide..........................

The fight scene at the end of 5 was great the way rock added street fighting into the mix. The two best quotes "my ring is outside" and "get up get up you son of a bitch cuz Mickey loves ya".
As far as being Oscar worthy I'll tell you which Rocky won 3 oscars and on a budget under a million......

1, then 3 simply because Mr.T was so bad ass in it.

I'll pick #3 because that one has a pinball in it that Pauly busts up with a bottle. Movie_Backglass.jpg
This glass is from the movie, not the actual game, the game glass is different.

Rocky 2, but 1 and 3 are close seconds. I mean come on, he was chasing chickens in the 2nd movie. I refer to that scene in my everyday life whenever I have to motivate someone. Chickens are my third favorite thing in any movie next to monkeys and "little people".

I like 'em all.

III has always been my favorite.

This one:

whoops no pic

# IV

Best montage ever

Best line ever.

"If he dies, he dies"

- Drago

1,2,4,RB,3,5.

Rocky is top 10 for me.

Rocky 5 is bottom 10. It's just plain awful.

I worked in Philly a couple years ago(film production) and one of the local teamsters drove me to that corner and had me buy one from each place. Maybe the greatest culinary day of my life.

Go Rocky!! Go!!!

The question is "which is the best", which is different than "what is your favorite"

My favorite for sure is 4. I still work out to that sound track, nothing can get you more pumped than the training music. But I don't think 4 is high art so I couldn't call it the best.

I love 3 with Mr T and Hulk Hogan

The best part of 4 is that he's gotta go back to the mindset he had in 1, and find a way to get there.

Rocky III

Rocky Balboa: Nobody owes nobody nothin'. You owe yourself.
Paulie: You're wrong! Friends owe!
Rocky Balboa: Friends don't owe! They do because the wanna do.
