This is one of my most favorite movies. It lets you know that it is what you do with what you got that is important. This movie is based on a true story of Rudy, Daniel Ruettiger (Sean Astin). Rudy does OK on his high school team, but has no college prospects, just dreams. He takes a job a the mill like his father. When his friend dies, he decides to follow his dream at Notre Dame. He doesn't get in, but attends a smaller school, while he prepares to get in. There is a cute scene where he participates in the ritual of painting the helmets, reserved for Notre Dame students. He finally gets to Notre Dame, and makes the practice squad as a walk on. His job id to be a target for the regulars. He takes his knocks, waiting for his chance.
This movie tells a few basic concepts, you should always pursue your dream, and sometimes it takes help from a third person to get there. This show has an incredible ending. I watched this game live in 75, and saw the team carry Rudy off the field, not really knowing the story.
