Better Movie #17

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Alright, so Princess Bride didn't fare too well against Mr. Balboa, but who does? At any rate, that's three victories for everyone's favorite Pennsylvanian. Could Rock be on his way to shocking the world?

We need to get this round started now, because our next film doesn't fucking roll on Saturdays. Shomer shabbos.

Rocky - that other movie was crap

[Nark Order]

Shut the fuck up, Donny.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This is by far the worst showing in Better Movie history

if Rocky makes it to the hall this round is a bit of a black eye

[The Mackem]

Red X for Big Lebowski

[Juan]

Not a HUGE fan of either of these movies, but I went with Rocky.

[Seth82]

I'll go with Rocky for this round

Big Lebowski is overrated

It was a good movie but its too overrated

[ct2k]

Rockeh

I love the Big Lebowski. But I would relegate it to more to the "cult classic" side of my DVD cabinet, whereas I would put Rocky on the "Greatest of All Time" side. I would be inclined to watch Lebowski before I watched Rocky, but many times when I watch a movie I go for a casual viewing and Rocky is more involved than that. Thus, my vote.
