Jay Duplass recommended Rocky (1976) in Movies (curated)

"Rocky one — it feels ridiculous to have to qualify Rocky with a “1,” but the subsequent sequels have smokescreened the truth that the original Rocky won the Oscar, is a monumental humanitarian story, and most importantly… Rocky does not win the final fight with Apollo. Some people literally don’t believe me when I tell them this. If you’ve forgotten this, please re-watch it. I promise you won’t be disappointed."

Decent story
This had the promise of being a really good story with a slight fantasy element to it but it just didn't seem to pull it off for me. The characters were a little strange and hard to follow, and the flow was a little off but the descriptions were vivid and brought the world to life and I liked that there were such diverse range of characters in the story.
