Default Ok... Rocky movies molded my childhood... so I'm in on this...

I still get teary eyed, wanna hit the gym and and wanna beat some bad-guys ass... all at the same time... in Rocky 2, when Adrian wakes from her post-birth coma and says to Rocky, "I want you do do something for me." Then Rock asks what. And Adrian says, "Win... I want you to win!"

Damn... I'm gettin jazzed just from typing this.


It's hard for me to pick a favorite Rocky movie because I was a different age at each one.

Rocky I - Toddler
Rocky II - Elementary School
Rocky III - Elementary
Rocky IV - Middle
Rocky V - High... really high... but I was in High School too
Rocky 6 (my roman numerals only go so far..lol) - Adult

So each movie affected me differently. I thought each movie was the best, when I saw it for the first time. However, I think... if backed in a corner and forced to choose a favorite... I'd pick III. The element of Rock loosing, then being trained by his enemy who becomes his best friend, after Mickey died... well that was pretty bad-ass!

And who doesn't remember Rock beating Apollo, for the first time, sprinting on the beach.
