1976’s Rocky is streaming on Prime in the US and Netflix in the UK, but leaves both services at the end of September.
Spanks the 2016 film and sends it off to the corner to think about what it did. This one is the definite article: Gory, grim, bleakly funny. Full of feverish, anarchic energy and exhausting cynicism.

Spotlight takes four awards, including Best Film…
Mad Max: Fury Road gets a lot of love…
