2. He
lost is the first one, won the second, third, fourth, and fifth....

I think he lost to Hulk Hogan in an exhibition in Rocky 3 but redeemed himself by beating Clubber Lang (Mr. T)...

6. Aren't there five films in that trilogy?
My favorite one is the film with Mr. T, in which Apollo Creed teaches him the big "secret" of boxing...you can move your head from side to side to avoid being struck in the center of your face.

Hilariously, in the big fight he throws away the secret and bores right in, getting whacked right in the mush, to defeat Mr. T....

Nobody in the entire film can throw a jab...and every punch lands with a preposterously loud sound.

11. Why is it ...
that men can watch those Rocky flicks over and over? Now, the "Godfather" I can sort of understand but the Rocky thing, just don't get it!

15. I Can't Watch The Godfather Too Many Times...
The first Rocky was the best and they got progressively more cartoonish....

16. So you must like...
Goodfellas and Casino? Both great movies. I'm a huge movie buff can you tell? I've been over on the "custome movie" thread making suggestions.

17. Goodfellas, Casino, Once Upon A Time In America, Scarface, Donnie Brasco
The whole genre and it's derivatives....

I'm not a big action movie fan...

Interestingly enough I also like "chick flicks" -Steel Magnoliaas, Fried Green Tomatoes, How To Make An American Quilt...

It must be the duality of my nature....

18. All great movies...
Steel Magnolias was just all around moving as well as Fried Green Tomatoes.
If you haven't already, check out The Eighth Day(one of my all time favorites) and well, it's either La Vie en Rose or Ma Vie en Rose but I thinking I'm only confused b/c of the song. Pretty sure it's "La"
