#3 on Jeff's Top 5 Sports Films
The original underdog story, not the sequel on Matt's list. You have to take your shot when you get it, even if you can't control the outcome.
#5 on Jeff's Top 5 Best Picture Winners
The down-and-out bum who gets his shot. Hard not to love the story of Stallone knocking on doors to get it made.
