There’s a Rocky marathon on TBS right now. The first one just ended. My favorite in the fourth, where he goes to Russia to take on the seemingly invincible Russian fighter. In case you need some reminding, the others are briefly: 1 - Rocky takes on Apollo first time 2 - Rocky takes on Apollo second time 3 - Rocky takes on Mr. T 4 - Rocky takes on Russian 5 - Rocky trains Tommy Gunn, then beats him up ---

Favorite’s gotta be Rocky IV, just to see that damn Russkie get his butt kicked all over the ring. Also loved seeing the Gorby lookalike cheering on Rocky at the end. It got a little over the top when Rocky ran up the mountain, but overall, an awesome, testosterone-filled, patriotic, chest-thumping piece of American cinematic history. Cecil B. DeMille would have been proud!
