Good Again and Again

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2008)

There aren't a lot of movies that I watch more than once, and there are very few that I watch many times. This is one of those movies that I have seen almost a dozen times over the years, and I never get sick of it.
"Rudy" is the classic underdog story. Rudy, played with strength and vulnerability by Sean Astin, is an underdog in football because of his small size, and he's an underdog in school because he has to work twice as hard to get the good grades. He'is a hard worker with a big heart whose had his share of pain in life, so an audience member I celebrate when he does & feel sad when he does.
This film has all the right pieces  a great story inspired by a true one, beautiful directing, a fantastic musical score, great football scenes, and emotional punch. This is definitely my favorite sports movies, and it is one of my top 10 all-around movies. It is inspirational and moving, AND it is entertaining!
