I had this discussion with Drago the other day.

A teenager in mid 80s I was obviously blown away by Rocky III and IV which were much more action flicks and defined by their soundtracks. As I got older, and into real boxing, I came to appreciate the first in the series, the characters and how more realistic the fight scenes were !! Rocky II also a decent sequel. Rocky Balboa was also great for nostalgic reasons. Let's not even talk about V.

Though I thing Rocky is the best film the one I enjoy watching the most is II (it does have Round 14 in it at the beginning ;-), for me the 'stay down' scene is one of the greatest movie moments ever.

So for me its 1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5 (I keep changing my mind between the order 3 and 4 come in)
