More than 30 years later, the film enjoys a reputation as a classic and still receives positive reviews; Rocky holds a 92% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus stating: This story of a down-on-his-luck boxer is thoroughly predictable, but Sylvester Stallones script and stunning performance in the title role brush aside complaints.[20] Another positive online review came from the BBC Films website, with both reviewer Almar Haflidason and BBC online users giving it 5/5 stars.[21] In Steven J. Schneiders 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, Schneider says the film is often overlooked as schmaltz.[22] In 2006, Rocky was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.[23][24] In June 2008, AFI revealed its Ten top Ten—the best ten films in ten classic American film genres—after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Rocky was acknowledged as the second-best film in the sports genre, after Raging Bull.[25][26] In 2008, Rocky was chosen by Empire magazine as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time.[27] youtube/watch?v=I2zFQmHWVCI
