 Rudy Rudy Quote: Rudy is a 1993 American sports film directed by David Anspaugh. It is an account of the life of Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, who harbored dreams of playing football at the University of Notre Dame despite significant obstacles. It was the first movie which the Notre Dame administration allowed to be shot on campus since Knute Rockne, All American in 1940.
In 2005, Rudy was named one of the best 25 sports movies of the previous 25 years in two polls by ESPN (#24 by a panel of sports experts, and #4 by espn.com users). It was ranked the 54th-most inspiring film of all time in the "AFI 100 Years" series.
The film was released on October 13, 1993, by TriStar Pictures. It stars Sean Astin as the title character, along with Ned Beatty, Jason Miller and Charles S. Dutton. The script was written by Angelo Pizzo, who created Hoosiers (1986). The film was shot in Illinois and Indiana.

One of my favorite sports movies of all time. I love Notre Dame football, and I love Rudy. I found it funny that people in Pitt were wearing Rudy Sucks shirts. That's the fucking point. He does suck, but he works so hard to play for two plays in four years. It's his heart that triumphs over all.

Re: Rudy Rudy is one of the best sports dramas out there with strong performances including those from Sean Astin as the lead character, Jon Favreau as D-Bob, and Charles S. Dutton as the janitor, Fortune. While some of the dialouge is a bit cheesy, the film as a whole is a very strong and inspirational story. ***1/2
