Netflix recently released a new documentary titled Sly, and it’s sitting at the No. 3 spot on the streamer’s top 10 movie list as of Nov. 6. It centers around the life and legacy of Golden Globe Award-winning actor Sylvester Stallone. You might recognize Stallone as the talented actor who brought to life the fictional boxer Rocky Balboa in the Rocky movies.
