25 Football Films to Love (Even if You Don't Love Football)6 of 25
Rudy (1993)
Even if you think Notre Dame is the home of that hunchback, you'll love this story of football's ultimate underdog. Sean Astin portrays Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, a real-life walk-on who doesn't let his diminutive size stop him from landing a spot on the team. It's almost enough to make the Fighting Irish likable. Almost.
