Chilltown, I agree with everything you're saying except for the part about Talia Shire giving the performance of a lifetime in GFIII. No way was that better than her performance in the Rocky series. Especially part I and part III (the beach scene!"We've got a house! We've got cars! We've got money!!! We've got everything but the truth!! What's the truth Rocky???)... Or even part IV "You can't win, Rocky!!".
