great flick

best ever? not so much....

i'd probably enjoy watching unnecessary roughness more than rudy....
flame suit on

ETA: it's kinda funny seeing actors in an older movie when you clearly recognize them from a popular, newer flick

Great Movie ! Saw it on the big screen, when it first came out. Not the greatest, but pretty good. The main theme borrows some elements from " PATTON ", both done from the same composer. Jerry Goldsmith.

Rudy - I really enjoy the combination of great composing and the emotion they threw in ..remember the titans were a bunch of toilet paper throwing homos

I couldn't care less about football (college or pro), but Rudy is one of my all-time favorite films.

It's a good flick.  The ending makes me tear up.  But I wouldn't call it the best movie ever made.

How? Have you seen the real game film?
Some scenes never happened but the plot is real.

Underdog finally gets into his dream school then walks on to one of the greatest college football teams in the country.

He's not a bad guy.  He is dyslexic, though, and a little "off".

Heard he pretty much has spent his whole life doing nothing else but being Rudy if that makes any sense.

Cinderella Man is a better movie, better story, and has nothing to do with Notre Dame....so it's even better because of that.

Patton > Rudy

Hell as cheesy as it was, I could probably make a good argument for Titanic being a better movie, even though we knew what would happen in the end...........oh wait, we all knew that part in Rudy too.

Finally! Others who agree with me.

There is no doubt that the real Rudy story is inspiring. It was just a terrible movie (almost as bad as "Field of Dreams")>

However, the real Rudy did make a good sport drink (Rudy Revolution IIRC) about 5-10 years ago. Much better than Gatoraid & Power-aid with B vitamins. They sponsored the boat racing circuit I worked for at the time. I used to bring jugs back from the races.
Now that concept is everywhere.

It's an OK football movie with a very good soundtrack.



When it gets down to it, he's just a winey, undersized kid who wants to exist outside of his physical limits.

Uh, eh, meh, it was okay. Overly dramatic. Bull shit. Snooze and wake up for the end and it's okay.

He motivationally spoke at my middle school about 20 years ago (jesus . . . .). As a previous poster said, he seemed a little "off".
