Stallone stats. I originally wrote this page on HubPages….it was very popular with over 100,000 views….I then moved it to CogersonMovieScore and it struggled with only 8,000 views.  I wonder which way it will go on UltimateMovieRankings. Only time will tell.

  1. You have to hand it to Stallone, when he was on fire in the 1980’s he knew what audiences wanted. Pure storytelling full of action and emotion.

    One of my favourites of his movies was actually Paradise Alley. One of his best or worse? I loved it.

    Thanks for the page Cogerson

    1. You are 100% correct…he Rambo and Rocky ruled the 1980s. I have not seen Paradise Alley….I will have to check that one out.

  2. Hopefully over time ‘Rocky Balboa’ and ‘Rambo’ will get on the best of Sly list. I’m surprised to see Oscar didn’t make the worst film list – that was pretty bad.

    Rocky III is a guilty pleasure of mine too

    1. That might happen. Oscar is pretty far down the list. 29th….but I guess John Landis kept it from reaching the bottom of the rankings.

  3. Man, Balboa and Rambo pretty much clear out the top 10. I recently saw the Expendables and thoroughly enjoyed it. Howver probably my favorite is his epic portrayal of John Spartan(Demolition Man), probably because of Bullock and Leary along for the ride. Lets go to TACO BELL.

    1. Yep The Top Ten could be called The Rambo Rocky list. You never know….Taco Bell could rule the world in 40 years. Thanks for the comment…my favorite oldest son.

  4. He has never been one of my favorites, but I enjoyed looking at this article anyway, thanks for posting

    1. I agreed with Kelly, but I do like the guy, and love this page. Keep up the good work.

      1. Thank you Kelly and Carl for the comment and the visit…especially since you are not big Sly fans.

  5. Great page! stop or my mom will shoot is my guilty pleasure on that one. Sly and i fell out a bit after Judge Dredd – it was the moment he took his helmet off. Judge Dredd is never ever ever seen with his helmet off in the comics! it was sacrilege. But i still love Sly really. ;P

    1. You might be one of the few people that will actually admit to liking…Stop or My Mom Will Shoot….lol. Sorry Judge Dredd caused a falling out between you two.
