The old poll i did was 5 years ago felt like redoing this one.

1 is the best.
2 is right up there.
3 and 4 are good, but not great.
5 no one recognizes.
And 6 is a nice sendoff to the character.
Rocky IV
It just came out at the right time. Us vs. Them.
Seeing Rocky in the theater was something special i wish kids today would get to experience.

Damn. Nicely said. Agreed too.
My biggest issue with 3 and 4 is they are the same film.
Rocky's on top of the world.
Someone tries to take it from him.
Rocky loses someone close to him.
Rocky gets his butt kicked.
Rocky gets his crap together.
Rocky kicks the big bad's butt to the moon.
That said they are pretty good motivational movies, and the rythym does get your heart pumping everytime. But once you take away the blue collar underdog aspect of the character he becomes much more unrelatable. I think that's what made six good. Took him back to his roots.
