Underdog stories are moderately popular but

I don't see them dominating American movies.Not to argue. As you say it's hard to argue. I confess I never saw it as an American phenomenon but maybe it is. I would say that the majority of those films are sappy shallow and cheaply manipulative but there are some really good ones. Interestingly enough they are often refered to as "Rocky" stories. IMO Rocky was a great movie. It seems most people have forgotten that Rocky lost the fight. His victory was quite human, quite "normal." He found love. I can't remember any severely handicaped people going on to victory movies. But I don't see every movie that comes out.
