What Is Your Favorite Movie Scene Of All Time??
Great scenes. My second favorite is towards the end of Rocky. After coming home from the arena, Rocky realizes that nobody expects anything from him. Rocky gets in bed with Adrian and the following occurs:
Rocky: I can't do it.
Adrian: What?
Rocky: I can't beat him.
Adrian: Apollo?
Rocky: Yeah. I been out there walkin' around, thinkin'. I mean, who am I kiddin'? I ain't even in the guy's league.
Adrian: What are we gonna do?
Rocky: I don't know.
Adrian: You worked so hard.
Rocky: Yeah, that don't matter. 'Cause I was nobody before.
Adrian: Don't say that.
Rocky: Ah come on, Adrian, it's true. I was nobody. But that don't matter either, you know? 'Cause I was thinkin', it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.
This is what this movie is about. Rocky only has to prove to himself that he wasn't just another bum from the neighborhood. I also like this scene because Stallone was only allowed one take to get it right and was so nervous that he was going to screw up that he actually got drunk then proceeded to knock the scene dead in one take.
