I love the feeling of stumbling across a favorite old movie on TV. Tonight, I watched "Rocky," a movie that I vividly remembered from my formative years, and slipped right back into the story like Stallone putting on one of his boxing gloves. The story, the dialogue, watching Talia Shire blossom in a great performance, the gritty Philadelphia neighborhoods... wow, such a good movie.

There are certain movies that will almost always stop men in their tracks and force them to watch, and "Rocky" is one of them. For me, some of the others are "Heat," "Chinatown," any of the Bourne movies, "Apocalypse Now," the "Road Warrior," and a few others - I haven't looked at my profile in quite a while but I probably listed a bunch. But, there's something timeless and quintessentially American about "Rocky" that I love. Always will.
