So in the grand tradition of having thought and creating a thread. I have just rewatched all the Rocky movies.
Rocky
Creed
Rocky 4
Rocky 3
Creed 2
6 Rocky Balboa
7 Rocky 2
8 Rocky 5
Rocky 5 would have finished higher but for the stupid street fight at the end. Rocky 2 was ridiculous and destroyed by Mickey turning into a cartoon character. Balboa a much better movie than I remembered. The Creed movies have better boxing scenes than the Rocky movie where no one seems to ever protect themselves.
3, 2, 4 (would perhaps have been higher if not for Happy Birthday Paulie).
Creed, Creed 2, Rocky Balboa, 1 (I know, but I found it dreadfully slow, and Creed has all the best bits).
