Sylvester Stallone’s Greatest Franchise of All Time Is Now Streaming on Netflix

There’s a special kind of joy in watching an underdog story that can’t be replicated or replaced. Watching a character win against all odds reinstates the feeling of hope and catharsis in the audience. Seeing the father-son duo walking down the street at the end of The Pursuit of Happyness, the miraculous success of Jamal at the end of Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire, or the rise of Dorothy, Mary, and Katherine, as core contributors of NASA’s program in Hidden Figures, these films and characters stay with the audience long after the TV is turned off.
