Well seeing as you are the largest Rocky buff I have come across, and I havent yet watched a full Rocky movie *GASP*, I was wondering if you had a suggestion on which to watch, or just start to from the beginning.

Yes I know. The kid hasnt seen any Rocky. The travesty! The horror!

LOL.

Start from the beginning definitely. It helps when you watch the later ones. Rocky 4 and the latest one- Rocky Balboa are my two favorites personally; but I love them all anyway lol. You'll get hooked- it's simply impossible to not love those movies.

Some interesting Rocky trivia:

"Rocky" is actually based on a real life fight between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner; who was a little known club fighter that got a chance to face the greatest. Wepner went 15 rounds with Ali; which was something no one had done before. Sylvester Stallone was in attendance for that fight and went home and wrote the script to Rocky and didn't agree to sell the script unless he was allowed to be the main character. That's why Rocky didn't win but "went the distance" in the first movie.

Talia Shire (Adrian) is Nicholas Cage's real life Aunt.
