Rudy

Today we are talking about the 1993 film where we met Jon Favreau early as an actor portraying the buddy to Sean Astin’s Rudy. This David Anspaugh directed film steering an additional Ned Beatty, Lili Taylor and Charles S. Dutton is the story of an unlikely tale of a fanatic Notre Dame Indianan making his way onto the team in a very unlikely way. 

Pete: “Well, you know what my dad always said, Having dreams is what makes life tolerable.”

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

  • Rudy’s determination to get the film made
  • Credited debut of Vince Vaughn
  • Montages of team drills
  • Crane shot when Rudy can’t get into the game
