    The restored version of...America is amazing, long but amazing and is probably the best film here. My favorite is Creepshow though. Never get tired of that one!

    Rocky IV is second, what? With a literal masterpiece in fourth, but thankfully close to tying.

    I know right? It's the best movie of the franchise. But I don't see it catching Goonies anytime soon. I'm kinda surprised how far ahead that is.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    Better than the Oscar-winning original?

    I was never a huge fan of the original. My personal order would be 4, 3, 1, 2, 5, 6.

    6 = Rocky Balboa (2006)

    Once Upon a Time in America needs just two votes to tie for second

    Rocky 5 is better than 6? The Tommy Morrison one? It's terrible. I thought everyone considered that one the worst.

    And somehow Rocky IV is in second place, with Creepshow one vote back and Once Upon a Time in America with two.

    It could really go either way. 5 was the worst one for a long time. But watching 70 year old Stallone try to get back in the ring and prove he still has it wasn't great either.

    It's not a stretch though. Foreman did it so many times.
