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!

Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is a small-time boxer who seems to be going nowhere in life, as he works day-in and day-out as a collector for a loan shark and fights in sleazy clubs for low pay rewards, for which Rocky is mocked and told that he's nothing but a 'bum,' especially by gym trainer Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith). At the same time, Rocky successfully courts Adrian Pennino (Talia Shire), a painfully shy woman with an alcoholic brother, Paulie (Burt Young). But when the world heavyweight champion boxer Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) chooses Rocky at random as his opponent in a title fight, Rocky realizes he now has the chance to prove that he's not worthless. With Adrian's support and Mickey becoming his trainer and manager, Rocky fights for his self-respect.
