I'm not sure if you already know this, but I'm a huge Rocky Balboa fan. I own all six movies from the set (including the barely-watchable Rocky V) and I'll still watch them when they air on basic cable.  Well, a few weeks ago, I discovered a great deal on the Rambo Collector's Set, courtesty of the fine folks at FatWallet, which inevitably led to a new obsession. I am now fixated on crappy awesome Sylvester Stallone movies. I'm especially drawn to such 1980's classics as Over the Top (he plays an arm-wresting champ trying to reunite with his son) and Victory (he's the goal-keeper on a concentration camp soccer team that plays the Germans).  And of course, I love the standard '90's crap that has no chance of scoring above 30% on Rotten Tomatoes -- see The Specialist (4%!), Demolition Man, and Judge Dredd. Basically, if Sly is in it, I want it, bad.  I won't stop until I have them all.  Well, aside from that horrible movie with Dolly Parton and his first role in a 70's porno....actually, scratch that, I'll get both eventually.

My updated, 21-movie collection includes:

• Rocky, II, III, IV, V,?Balboa (6 total)
• First Blood, Part II, III,?Rambo (4 total)
• Victory
• Cobra
• Over the Top
• Tango & Cash
• Lock Up
• Cliffhanger
• Demolition Man
• Driven
• The Specialist
• Cop Land
• Judge Dredd

At a time when I'm trying to curb needless spending, I'm getting more DVDs every week. I can easily justify these purchases though, since Sly movies are one of life's biggest neccessities.

UPDATE: I picked up four more movies during a Circuity City clearance sale (is $6.99 really a clearance??) I now have 25 movies, after the additions of Paradise Alley, Daylight, Oscar, and The Lords of Flatbush. I've watched only Daylight so far, and it was surprisingly good....seriously, if you can overlook some shoddy acting, it's highly entertaining. And Sly doesn't even take his shirt off --seriously, not once!

UPDATE: I'm not sure if I should be pleased or slightly ashamed of this, but Amazon.com knows me a little too well at this point.  I logged in this morning, and saw the greeting below. I might need to reconsider some of my life choices.
