Judging by what I’ve read on the internet — always a suspect way to begin a theory — I think most people would either have Rudy as a favorite to be number one on this list, or hope it would be left off entirely, or both. So I realize there’s a good chance this selection will piss everybody off. And that’s okay. I don’t mind being the bad guy. Someone’s got to do it. You need people like me.
Say what you will about Rudy, it’s solid filmmaking -- involving, and emotionally evocative -- just not the all-time classic some make it out to be.
