Rocky 2 having that many votes just boggles my mind. Everything about that film is mediocre compared to Rocky and Rocky 3. I remember watching it in the theater as a kid when it first came out and being underwhelmed.

Another strong group. I could have gone for even more. I wish Thunderbolt had a little more love.

Really? Rocky 3 is one of my least favorite in the entire series - Clubber Lang is a joke.

"I pity the fool who" craps on Rocky III!! For the record, the only "Rocky" movie you can consider as"Bad" is Rocky V, with Tommy Gunn. No ring just a street fight. Arrrggghhhh lol

Mel Brooks the GOAT

I hope Young Frankenstein goes far, I think it's the best Mel Brooks.

RIP Cloris Leachman.

Yes, it places a hair or two above "Blazing Saddles". My favorite 3 Brooks films are as follows.....


Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Spaceballs
