  1. Once Upon a Time in the West

    Another timeless classic by Sergio Leone. The absence of Clint Eastwood means it doesn't go anywhere near the heights of The Good, The Bad And The Ugly for me personally, but regardless is an excellent film. Claudia Cardinale was gorgeous in it too.

    8/10

  2. Its quite weird how some people are put off these films because they don't like boxing. Yet, there's really only a big fight at the end of the films, and the rest is drama. Excluding maybe 3 where he fights clubber/T midway through 3.

    Yeah, I know many people who hate boxing yet still love the films, e.g. my mother.

    I read an interview with Sly the other day and the film seems to be more drama based than anything, as it's mainly about Rocky's background, and how it links to Sylvester Stallone's real life.

  3. I'm still shocked as to how Rocky managed to beat Ivan. He was like a machine.

    Yeah he looks like some kind of monster. I loved it how in the training they compared Ivan's mechanical methods to Rocky's traditional, natural ones. Tree sawing, fuck yeah!

    Ah man the memories are flooding back now, I definately need to watch them all again before next friday. I love Paulie's reaction to that robot ahahaha

  4. So basically Rocky wins every time?

     

    Meh.

    Rocky I - Loses

    Rocky II - Wins

    Rocky III - Loses then Wins. Mickey dies:red:

    Rocky IV - Appolo gets killed (his best friend), Rocky wins

    Rocky V - Street fight, rocky wins.

     

  5. Good man. I was going to create this next week but you beat me to it.

     

    I just went through all 5 films last night and today and they still hype me up. I have stated that number 4 is my best many times and it still remains at the top for me. The music in it is so awesome it just makes you want to go running and do sit-ups etc.

     

    There are some great moments in all of the films. Some of my favourites are when Adrian tells Rocky to do one thing for her...WIN! (Rocky 2 )

     

    When Rocky cuts Drago and when Adrian shouts " Your gonna do it! " near the end ( Rocky 4 )

     

    Finally one from Rocky 5..yes I know but hear me out. Its right at the end when he is fighting Tommy Gunn and Rocky gets knocked down. He then hears Mickeys voice " GET UP YA SON OF A BITCH CAUSE MICKY LOVES YA! "

     

    There are more but there are just a few of mine.

    Ah great post man, and I also think IV is probably my favourite, although I love the original in a special kinda way. The music really is fantastic, and I can definately say that it is amazing for boxing training. I was planning on having a marathon and watching all five films before but I am not sure when I will, or if. I reckon i'll end up doing it on thursday or something :heh:

  6. This time next week i'll be watching this: D One of my most wanted films to happen ever. The Rocky films are the most inspirational films i've ever experienced and i'm starting to get really excited now, despite how skeptical I was at first. People are saying it's the best since the original, and some say it's even better!
