Every Best Picture Oscar Winner Ranked Worst To Best
56. Rocky (1976)
Of all the Best Picture winners, Rocky is the biggest crowd-pleaser. Moving, uplifting, and charting a journey littered with obstacles and inspirational speeches, it represents the best of the sweet underdog dramas modern audiences often flock to see.
Through modern eyes, Rocky feels neither new nor challenging, but that doesn't really matter. Sylvester Stallone's heart is on his sleeve throughout, bringing Balboa's struggles to life with great physical commitment and passion. There have been better, riskier sport movies, but few so damn easy to love.
