I think that Rocky is a great film about the little guy training and working hard to overcome huge obstacles. I even think that the first Rocky is the best of the franchise. But I think that 2001 is a better movie. The style, the mystery and the cold and calculated HAL computer make it a very interesting and visually appealing movie to watch. 2001, like many 60s movies, especially benefits from 1080p/4K releases that really allow the quality of the film to shine through.

2001: A Space Odyssey wins this vote and will move on to the Top 20.
