'Slumdog Millionaire' and 'Rocky'
With its tale of a desperately poor ghetto dweller who wins an unimaginable chance at fame and fortune, "Slumdog Millionaire" taps into the audience's eternal love for an underdog story. So why not look to the underdog story that was itself an underdog to win the Oscar in 1977? That would be "Rocky," the tale of a down-and-out fighter who wins a wild-card chance to fight the champ, and even gets the girl while he's at it.
