Film Appreciation
If you are my age, you probably get an excited nostalgic feeling after hearing the first few measures of Gonna Fly Now. The theme song is from the American classic film, Rocky.
Directed by John G. Avildsen and both written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, the film is about an Italian-American boxer from Philly who gets to fight Apollo Creed for the world heavyweight championship.
The film won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
