It's hard to believe that it has been 42 years since the first Rocky movie and in that long period of time, the affection of fans for the eponymous underdog Boxer has never wavered. And with good reason. The film series has grossed more than $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office. The original film, the third and the seventh have received Academy Award nominations. The first film won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Film Editing. Stallone himself has received Academy Award nominations for his portrayal of Rocky, in the first and seventh film. The soundtrack of the series has also received nominations for the first and third films. The first film, Rocky (1976), and its five sequels centered on the boxing career of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). For the seventh, Creed (2015), and eighth, Creed II, the series shifted its focus towards Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), the son of Rocky's deceased rival and friend Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), trained by a now retired Rocky. With the release of the latest installment in the franchise, Creed II on Thanksgiving 2018, we thought it would be a good time to look back on the series and find out which ones we all liked the most. Rank this list from best to worst and don't forget to show your love for Rock in the comments below!

In 1985, the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) killed former heavyweight boxing champion Apollo Creed during an exhibition fight in Las Vegas. That same year, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) defeated Ivan Drago in a boxing match on Christmas Day in the Soviet Union. Thirty-three years later, Apollo Creed's son Adonis (Michael B. Jordan), with Rocky's training and guidance, seeks to avenge his father's death by fighting Drago's son Viktor (Florian Munteanu) while at the same time, Ivan hopes to reclaim his honor through Viktor.
