One sentence plot summary: A nearly burnt out small time boxer gets a fluke chance to compete for the heavyweight title.
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Burgess Meredith, Carl Weathers, Thayer David, Joe Spinnell
Best of: A surprisingly nuanced performance by Sylvester Stallone. I always just thought of him as a dumb action star, but he really is tremendous in this.
Worst of: Watching Rocky go on training runs in Chuck Taylors hurts my feet.
Notable: Stallone wrote the original script in just 3 days.
Also nominated: All the President's Men, Taxi Driver, Network.
