Most lists have this movie in their Top 10 or even Top 5. It falls down further for me because…I’m not a huge boxing fan…..the story isn’t quite as uplifting and inspirational as Rocky…and it came out in 1980 when I was only 8 years old and spawned no sequels so as to bring it into my entertainment consciousness during my formative years. I realize I am severely underrating this movie, but it just isn’t something I have found myself watching over and over again in the course of my lifetime as much as many of the films ranked above it. Your mileage may vary.
