ROCKY MARATHON
January 4, 2016  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 5:00 p.m. ET

 

With Creed, the latest chapter in the Rocky saga, actually getting some talk of being in Oscar contention, AMC is riding the wave by presenting a triple feature of the first three Rocky films, all starring, and written by, Sylvester Stallone. The triple treat starts at 5 p.m. ET, with the original Rocky movie in 1976 – which won the Academy Award as Best Picture that year. Which films did it knock to the canvas? Taxi Driver, Network, All the President’s Men, and Bound for Glory. Unbelievable, and every bit an underdog story as Rocky itself. Completing the Rocky road: 1979’s Rocky II at 8 p.m. ET, followed by 1982’s Rocky III at 10:30 p.m. ET.
