Favourite Scene and Why?

Easily my favorite scene is when he opens the last letter of acceptance and reads that he finally got in and begins to cry as he reads it.

After all the hard work and determination it paid off and you really felt it there and I love the way Jerry Goldsmith's score came up.

A close second favorite is when the team all go in and lay they're jerzees on coach Devine's desk so that Rudy could dress for the final game.

Every player giving the coach their jerseys in the movie was great although it was just a few players who actually did that in real life.

The best parts have to be when the only guy that gave him hope "the Wise Janitor" says
"you are 5 foot nothing, 100 and nothing, and you got hardly a spec of athletic ability and you hung in with the best college football team in the land for 2 years and your also gonna walk out of here with a degree from the university of Notre Dame. In this lifetime you dont have to prove nothing to nobody but yourself. After what you gone through if you aint done that by now it aint gonna never happen."
The only person to give him hope

Also when he gets the sack at the end and D-Bop says with tears in his eyes "who's the wild man now"

There's two.

1) When he discovers he got accepted, after all the hard work & never giving up he finally got in.

2) When he got carried off the ground. And everyone cheering 'Rudy, Rudy'. Proves how much a sport can do.

1. When he opens the letter that he got accepted.

2. "This is the most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen."

3. "Son, in over 35 years of religious contemplation I've come across only 2 hard undeniable facts: There is a God, and...I'm not him."

4. Devine's speech before the GT game.

T-5. The scene w/ the jerseys being left on Devine's desk
T-5. Dutton's speech to him when he's considering quiting.

I always like the scene when D-bob hugs Rudy before leaving to California.

I like when he goes to the tryouts to meet the Notre Dame coach and all the big football players come jogging through the gate and they knock Rudy's little ass on the ground and one of the assistant coaches or team managers, cant remember which, holds him back to protect him.

You see how tiny Rudy is compared to these guys.

I agree with all the scenes mentioned. I would add
- When Fortune sees Rudy get into the game and make the sack, he is visibly moved and forces a few claps. Then he chokes back his emotion, turns to walk away, and pumps his fist.

Gets me everytime. He understood the whole story, and was thrilled in his own way.

I liked a few scenes with D-Bob. I had a buddy like him in college.
