Yo, the holidays the starting early for '80s fans. Cable's AMC channel is showing a Rocky marathon beginning at 3 p.m. Eastern time. Be ready for Rocky 1 through 5 over the next 10 hours.

Is this a culturally significant event? You bet. It's a rare chance of seeing the only Sly Stallone films that don't make you want to claw out your eyeballs. And I know everyone's a big fan of the first two flicks, but I still love Rocky III the best. Why? Clubber Lang, my friends. Clubber Lang.

TOP 5 CLUBBER LANG LINES FROM ROCKY III:

5. "What did you say, Paper Champion? I'll beat you like a dog, a dog, you fool!"

4. "Hey, Woman! Listen here. Since your old man ain't got no heart, maybe you like to see a real man. I bet you stay up late every night dreamin' you had a real man, don't ya?"

3. "I don't hate Balboa. I pity the fool, and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got!"

2. "Hey fool! You ready for another beating? You shoulda never came back!"

1. "My prediction? ... Pain."
