Rocky (1976)
  Rocky is the movie that gave birth to the most successful sports movie franchise of all time! Rocky Balboa, played by Sylvester Stallone, is a semi-pro boxer who is given the opportunity to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship against Apollo Creed, the defending undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. The “Italian Stallion” shocks everyone except himself by taking Apollo Creed the full 15 rounds before losing by split-decision. Nevertheless, Rocky is triumphant in his goal of taking Creed the distance and instantly becomes an American legend. Rocky is the ultimate underdog story, and a timeless classic whose theme song still blasts over stadiums sound systems across the country as a never-say-die anthem of hope and the American dream.
