The 50 Best Sports Movies Ever

39. Creed (2015)


Creed II just hit the theaters last month, and while it was a fine boxing movie, it was nowhere near as good as the first film. The difference between the two films is that Creed II felt more like another one of the cookie-cutter Rocky movies of the past, whereas Creed was much more original.

Adonis Creed’s backstory of growing up in a foster home as the rejected child from one of Apollo Creed’s affairs gives the character more depth than simply being a legendary boxer’s son. It is also one of the best Rocky performances of Sylvester Stallone’s career in which the iconic character battles cancer.
