Memories of cold fall mornings, you can see your breath, the sun's shining or maybe it's overcast and a white misty haze is over the grass, the wind's blowing and you're knocking heads and working your tail off. Anybody who has every played football knows these days, these practices, the work and comradery, some of the best times a person can have as an athlete.
Here after the victory against Penn State in the Orange Bowl.. as a Notre Dame fan, I’ve cried to this clip many times. I’m so proud of this team.. so proud.
_Rudy_ is a perfect example of how a film's score can elevate a small, rather personal story to a masterpiece that grabs you by the heart and never lets go. It's a testament to Goldsmith's amazing talent that even fans of rival programs who dislike Notre Dame still love this movie. The _Rudy_ soundtrack is nothing less than the indomitable human spirit set to music.
I concur with your sentiment! Jerry's music enhanced this movie tremendously! The real Rudy committed securities fraud later in life, according to Wikipedia!
I plan to watch this movie with each of my kids when they are old enough, early teens most likely, to teach them what perseverance is and to never stop working towards whatever it is they want to achieve in life. This is in my top 50 movies of all time.
I'd never even heard of this until I saw this movie. I don't love or hate Notre Dame, but you have to respect the fucking hell out of the tradition. ruclips.net/video/VafBdSU6A90/видео.html
@@danielcallahan4825 The score for Hoosiers is more impressive than the actual movie if you use common sense while watching it. Waaaay underrated sports movie score imo that doesn't have enough vids anywhere: Unnecessary Roughness.
I just realized why I enjoy the coach's speech. Besides being lean and not wasting a word, the cadence of his speech fits the background music. He talks and pauses at just the right pace.
This movie helped save me during a time of deep depression, when the world seemed stacked against me and everything in me wanted to give up, but I had just enough fight left to keep pushing forward. This movie, and this particular scene, helped me find and keep my courage. I can say that looking back now from a place of personal success and fulfillment.
@@kevinbond8966 In an instant, right? I remember stretching first thing, before we did any activity at all, and no stretching from there on out. And freaking gatorade! And oranges. Occasionally water. Heh.
Spihk Heartbust!? Analyze & discuss true effects for Bozeman Hotmail Recipient sing a transformers Tire roller song to Woodland Dr's Driggers near Elephant Server!?
Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.
I think it depends on a lot of factors…. Personally, I’m of a pretty good size being 6’3 / 220lbs. I’ve trained hard in all the sports I’ve competed in and I’m not by any means a super star athlete but I’m likely more athletic than a guy like Rudy. However, I don’t think I could ever be motivated to take hits like Rudy Day In and Day Out like that. Especially if there’d be almost no chance that I’d make the team or be rewarded for all that pain and embarrassment. I think it’s actually far more possible for a person of average intelligence to be accepted into a University with a low admission rate. Studying hard, acquiring a good tutor, applying multiple times and making connections with the right people goes very, very far. But to each their own. It all depends on how motivated you are to get what you want.
It's a solid discussion. ND's current acceptance rate is 15% (top-tier schools hovered around 20% in the '70s). Rudy allegedly did not have the grades for Joliet Community College, so Father Cavanaugh's influence ultimately allowed him admission to HC. Fortunately, he was able to identify a learning disability, which - who knows what treatments existed - provided at least a reason for his academic troubles and hopefully a focused plan. However, he's a "dreamer" in tryouts. One of the two selected - out of the 15 - who will "run the opposition's plays." He had approximately a 13.3% chance to earn a spot.
@@dchang11 I loved how the administration at Notre Dame reacted to the _über-elite_ students that took over the university during the Vietnam War. They claimed they wanted to 'negotiate' the return of the school as long as all charges were dropped and their stance on the war was recognized. Notre Dame said "nope, you don't run this school... we do". And those students were all expelled. Their daddy's wealthy didn't matter at all. I hate that war and our reasons for being there... pretty much everything about it. But that gives no one the right to take and/or destroy other people's property.
@@DrakeBrunette You simply lack the championship mindset to achieve anything great, while guys like Spud Webb, Mugsy Bogues, Wes Welker, Steve Largent, Manny Pacquiao, etc., all have what it takes to overcome great odds. It's ok, nothing is wrong with that. More than 99.99% of the human population, including myself, don't have that championship mindset. That's why only such a small number of people truly attain greatness. Greatness is reserved for the very few who are willing to DIE to accomplish something.
Still one of my favorite scenes when he says “Come on coach I can do it” and the music gets loud and intense and camera zooms in on his eyes. Get chills watching that every time. You can’t coach that intensity and heart! Great scene and movie!!
@Whoopdido777 Part of the "everyone gets a trophy" social engineering by Hollywood. It's hard to admit that it was happening during my generation, but it was.
I agree. The coaches speech at beginning to the walk-Ons is very blunt and factual. I don’t think people realize the disparity between top tier scholarship athletes and everyone else. In 1988 my cousin was a blue chip HS Volleyball player, All CIF. In 1990 she was a NCAA D1 National Champion in volleyball. 1991, she tried out for the 1992 USA Olympic team. Didn’t even come close. She said she was slower and shorter than all the women who tried out. Humbling
A historic masterpiece in filmmaking and in the intrinsic value of of the conscious mind. Every play is in the present. The effort of Rudy on the field has implications of every man who has the drive to accomplish through physical limitations that which comparatively few can accomplish even among those of which are the most physically imposing individuals. This film and story proves that %100 is not something many men can actually give. The film takes the authentic look of the time and translates it into the heart of the present. Many tears will follow this piece when you are in this same frame of mind as you see what you could have accomplished.
what i found interesting watching this again, is that when the coach on the left mentioned rudy as a player to keep on and the other coach didn't want any of them, he knew rudy's name when he was mentioned. even though he didn't want him, rudy made an impression on him.
@@SuperChuckRaney That's pretty much the opposite sentiment of what the others were saying. The Japanese saying is for comformity while the others are for individuality. Funny how that works, eh?
+Dennis Coffman I’ve met Rudy since his brother was the dean of my high school and my wrestling coach. Honestly he kind of thinks he’s a god or something and it was kind of annoying. Still a real good movie though
Tyler Gordon Disappointed to hear that but it doesn’t really surprise me. Sean Astin, who played Rudy, once said on a talk show that he had heard the Real Rudy was really milking his celebrity for all it was worth. Especially after this film came out.
While hearing these stories about the real Rudy all I can say is it doesent change my view of the story no one is perfect and if you were In his shoes you can’t even say how you would act because you’re not there to begin with so you have no idea therefore knowing that I don’t judge
At 2:47 you can see the players running the 2:1 version of the Oklahoma drill. Perfected by Bud Wilkinson in 1952, it quickly became a mainstay of both college and pro football practices. Wilkinson ran his guys thru this drill so many times that the players reported that they couldnt even feel the collisions in the real games. Bud took OU on a 47 game win streak from 1953 to 1957, a streak which is considered by most football experts to be unbeatable, especially after the development of the college playoff.
Let me the first to say I didn’t graduate from university of notre dame but I graduated from Purdue University on May 16 2022 and when I saw Rudy I felt like I was like Rudy and I accomplished something. For the record I graduated from Purdue University with a masters degree 📜. Thanks Rudy you inspired me.
The 70's had "Gonna Fly Now" The 80's had EVERYTHING The 90's had "Tryouts" although Rudy will never be Rocky. it was our generation's attempt at that never give up hope story to help motivate us. My coaches played this song while we were in Football and basketball camps in high school and during road trips to games to hype us up. What a score!
As my pop pop was dying last year I gave him one last hug and he whispered to me “be good for pop pop, be good” so I promised him that I would dress and run out of that tunnel one day. It’s written in my wall to this day and I’m 3 years closer to my dream wish me luck
Good luck, but don’t hang your self worth on that goal. The odds are heavily stacked against you. Unless youre winning state football player of the year, there’s a good chance you wont make it. There are plenty of 3* All-State players that dont get offered from schools like ND.
Having been someone who dedicated two years of my life to be on a 8 man rowing team the key is never quit. Despite the pain push through it with resilience. Mental or physical goal if you put in the effort to the best of your ability you have already won.
@@ss_whole Oh really, is that true?! What's the name of the movie are you talking about again? 🙄 (...and his name was actually Daniel, if you wanna be Mr. Serious King Of Corrections. Rudy was his nickname based on his last name of Ruettiger. How is it you see yourself as the person to correct everyone around you when youve never even read any Tolkien for Christ's sake?)
Fun fact: Jason Miller, who played Ara Parsegian, was such a huge Irish fan (he used to end his conversations with "Go Irish," instead of "goodbye" lol), that he said yes to this role before even seeing the script. Such a shame he died so young. Loved him in The Exorcist too. RIP Jason Miller.
What a great and accurate depiction of coaches, especially the way Parseghian defers to his subordinates. I also like the part where he’s so pissed he kicks grass.
The most underrated part is the coach basically goading all of the scout team hopefuls into staying with the "Any of you wanna run home to mama?" line 🤣🤣
Watching this in the theater in 1993 had a special feel to it. The movie and soundtrack were new. The decade this movie was about had only been 30 years prior to the movie.
I admire Rudy for being the underdog, he may not be the biggest or strongest but he has more heart than anyone in this movie not letting his size stop him from earning a spot on Notre Dame Football Team. I definitely gained a lot of respect when all the Players stood in Solidarity with Rudy for not getting to suit up and how they all put their jerseys in a pile. great way to honor a teammate and enjoyed hearing the crowd chanting Rudy, Rudy Rudy before he went into the game. one of the best inspirational inspiring movies about not giving up and pursuing your dreams while not being hindered by your size or strength but being driven by something greater which is proving those who tell you what you can and can't do.
Hate to say it but I feel Rudy really hard. I was the smallest kid on any team I was in until junior year and never cut, senior year won most improved and lead my team in tackles. If your undersized, don’t stop trying, don’t quit just because your smaller or if your parents or role models say you will probably be cut. Don’t give up 🔥
As a fellow collegiate varsity walk-on (granted, for skiing), you walk a tremendous uphill battle, but videos like this always gave me hope. The day I was presented with my jacket, my starting position, and eventual scholarship made all the difference in the world. This might not be the completely accurate story, but things like this still inspire, and that's very important to people who need that extra boost of motivation.
Fun fact: The skinny QB (O’hare) that the coach yells at later on in practice was played by none other than a young & still unknown... Vince(nt) Vaughn.
Vincent VAughn is a half-back ...... old school half backs threw passes also, Frank Gifford the broadcaster holds the records for most touchdowns by a non quarterback. In the scene where Vince (O'Hare) gets sacked, Vince takes a pitch-out from the under-center QB and is then hit by Ruttiger. ruclips.net/video/G8c6j-LS-ZI/видео.html
Wow, was it really? no one knew that only u . In fact it wasnt in the credits either . Thanks so much. What about Rudy's fat friend D Bop, Was he a somebody also ?
I’ve read all the comments said in these posts. Weather or not it’s 100% what actually happened. The most powerful message in this movie and his life. Dispute Rudy lack of athletic ability. Prove me wrong. Fight fight fight! Don’t quit. I needed his motivation to power through it.
The soundtrack for this movie was the best Jerry goldsmith was so great when it comes to music I loved Rudy still one of my favorite movies. Great movie great story having dreams is what makes life tolerable
What i admire about The character Rudy is his determination and Heart . No matter how many times he fell down and got rocked he got right back up to try again He never gives up ! even coach saw his heart 4:33
@@sidneyrodrigues728 I agree. I wasn’t good at all when I played. But more than half my teammates said I had the biggest heart on the team. To this day, that means a lot to me
I just watched 'Greater' which is essentially the same story and couldn't remember a thing about it. The music and cinematography in 'Rudy' alone is enough reason to like this movie.
I can tell you that players like Rudy, that are undersized, unathletic, but work harder than everybody else. *They* set the example for the rest of the team, including the first string players. Having a guy on your team like Rudy is truly like having 12 men on the field.
@@donarthiazi2443 Well if you remember there may have been a kid on the team that was not a good athlete but worked his tail off. Anytime he did a drill, he at the very least gave his best effort. This type of attitude is contagious, and usually gets praise from coaches and players alike.. it makes the other players work harder in practice than they otherwise would have. Therefore they will perform better on gameday. Thats all i was saying
Rest In Power John Beasley✊🏾 First time seeing him in films was the tryout scene in "Rudy". Had me believing I had a chance while telling me I had little to no chance; and when you get that chance you wish you never gotten that chance, so enjoy the chance while you have it. Them some serious mind games he was playing, mane.
It was a lot of coaches on the ND staff observing practice over those five days and only one coach noticed the heart of Rudy while the rest of the coaches were focused on Rudy athletic ability and physical stature and didn't want him. That one coach changed Rudy's life by selecting him when no other coach wanted him ! This reminds me of Tom Brady and what he went through !
Rudy will always be my inspiration to never give up even when it seems low never give up and never let up. Bust your ass every day and the results will come.
Never thought of myself as smaller growing up. But it sure explains my lousy record in schoolyard fights. I love Rudy. I have no ability as an athlete ever, but I got an NCAA scholarship in cross country and Nordic skiing. You know, sports for smaller guys.:)
I got cut from my freshman team and watched this movie and started varsity year.....never give up and persevere and anything can happen....this scene still resonates today....

(...and his name was actually Daniel, if you wanna be Mr. Serious King Of Corrections. Rudy was his nickname based on his last name of Ruettiger. How is it you see yourself as the person to correct everyone around you when youve never even read any Tolkien for Christ's sake?)
Really? I thought it was Bob who after college at Notre Dame later moved to Hawkins and worked at RadioShack.
Those were the best times to be playing college football.
Cause all the chicks had bushes ?
@@daveyboy_ lol
Fun fact: Jason Miller, who played Ara Parsegian, was such a huge Irish fan (he used to end his conversations with "Go Irish," instead of "goodbye" lol), that he said yes to this role before even seeing the script. Such a shame he died so young. Loved him in The Exorcist too. RIP Jason Miller.
Same . Father karras / Jason Miller will have a special place in heaven . Fun fact : he was offered the role of Travis bickle in taxi driver
These scenes and this movie all work because of the music. Without it, it wouldn't be nearly as good.
My favorite sports movie ever.. I still tear up at ending evey time.. 53 years old.. Simply the best
What a great and accurate depiction of coaches, especially the way Parseghian defers to his subordinates. I also like the part where he’s so pissed he kicks grass.
This is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history
The score feels like a movie within the movie.... amazing!
🤩
Great Film.
Yesireee
Watching this after ND beat PSU last night in the Orange Bowl! Go Irish....all the way!
The most underrated part is the coach basically goading all of the scout team hopefuls into staying with the "Any of you wanna run home to mama?" line 🤣🤣
This movie was the reason I played football, very special place in my heart
One of the greatest sports films of all time
God I miss those days, spring practice and then fall Friday night and Saturday. Best feeling ever
As a little kid I always loved Notre Dame go Irish
"Play like a champion today"
Same here dude. Notre Dame was my favorite team once I watched this movie as a kid.
Such a motivating song and scene...ever need some motivation watch this
“Mercenaries will always beat the draftees. But the volunteers will crush them both”. Can’t beat the heart of a walk on.
Watching this in the theater in 1993 had a special feel to it. The movie and soundtrack were new. The decade this movie was about had only been 30 years prior to the movie.
Friends, when you are feeling down, and you're ready to give up...think of Rudy. You WILL do it!
Great movie great acting great soundtrack and can't wait for this 4K to come out
The most inspiring music of all time if you think you can’t do something listen to this because you can
Thai music will be in my head when I tryout for the proffesional league so I can remember Rudy and him never giving up
I admire Rudy for being the underdog, he may not be the biggest or strongest but he has more heart than anyone in this movie not letting his size stop him from earning a spot on Notre Dame Football Team. I definitely gained a lot of respect when all the Players stood in Solidarity with Rudy for not getting to suit up and how they all put their jerseys in a pile. great way to honor a teammate and enjoyed hearing the crowd chanting Rudy, Rudy Rudy before he went into the game. one of the best inspirational inspiring movies about not giving up and pursuing your dreams while not being hindered by your size or strength but being driven by something greater which is proving those who tell you what you can and can't do.
Hate to say it but I feel Rudy really hard. I was the smallest kid on any team I was in until junior year and never cut, senior year won most improved and lead my team in tackles. If your undersized, don’t stop trying, don’t quit just because your smaller or if your parents or role models say you will probably be cut. Don’t give up 🔥
How Sam prepared to enter Mt Doom w/ Frodo. Heart warming and awe inspiring
I came looking for the Sam reference. Knew I wouldn't be disappointed
As a fellow collegiate varsity walk-on (granted, for skiing), you walk a tremendous uphill battle, but videos like this always gave me hope. The day I was presented with my jacket, my starting position, and eventual scholarship made all the difference in the world.
This might not be the completely accurate story, but things like this still inspire, and that's very important to people who need that extra boost of motivation.
Skiing uphill WOULD be an Uphill battle. *Rimshot*. Thank you, thank you, and don't forget to tip your waiteress!
"For skiiing"! Lol!
This really is a great movie...looking back on it 30 years later.
The greatest football speech in ANY 🏈movie is from this Defensive Backs Coach explaining what it takes to make the team.
😆IT’S FUCKING AWESOME!!!!
While build, athletic ability, skills are important ... YOU CAN'T TEACH HEART.
Tell this to the Bulls man
Shook😱👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Eagle Eyes just like captain America!
You have to "want" to do it.
There is no gene for the human spirit! From another movie, but still.
Fun fact: The skinny QB (O’hare) that the coach yells at later on in practice was played by none other than a young & still unknown... Vince(nt) Vaughn.
Vincent VAughn is a half-back ...... old school half backs threw passes also, Frank Gifford the broadcaster holds the records for most touchdowns by a non quarterback.
In the scene where Vince (O'Hare) gets sacked, Vince takes a pitch-out from the under-center QB and is then hit by Ruttiger.

Wow, was it really? no one knew that only u . In fact it wasnt in the credits either . Thanks so much. What about Rudy's fat friend D Bop, Was he a somebody also ?
@@daveyboy_ Jon Favreau.
@@ericdaniel323 Really , Wow i never knew. U mean they were both in s movie be4 swingers? awesome
Watch “Made” excellent film. Don’t for get swingers
I’ve read all the comments said in these posts. Weather or not it’s 100% what actually happened. The most powerful message in this movie and his life. Dispute Rudy lack of athletic ability. Prove me wrong. Fight fight fight! Don’t quit. I needed his motivation to power through it.
The soundtrack for this movie was the best Jerry goldsmith was so great when it comes to music I loved Rudy still one of my favorite movies. Great movie great story having dreams is what makes life tolerable
Katie Williams a true modern masterpiece
What i admire about The character Rudy is his determination and Heart . No matter how many times he fell down and got rocked he got right back up to try again He never gives up ! even coach saw his heart 4:33
Jerry Goldsmith score made this movie. RIP!!!
If you don't have the score, the film is meh
The slow motion video sequences and cut scenes are also perfected.
Love this scene 😢
Best movie and inspiration for all underdogs.
One of the greatest scenes of all time
It ain’t always about how well you can play. It’s about your heart and determination to show you belong on the team
Sheer will and determination are huge factors to be considered in any life situation.
@@sidneyrodrigues728 I agree. I wasn’t good at all when I played. But more than half my teammates said I had the biggest heart on the team. To this day, that means a lot to me
I just watched 'Greater' which is essentially the same story and couldn't remember a thing about it. The music and cinematography in 'Rudy' alone is enough reason to like this movie.
I can tell you that players like Rudy, that are undersized, unathletic, but work harder than everybody else. *They* set the example for the rest of the team, including the first string players. Having a guy on your team like Rudy is truly like having 12 men on the field.
@@donarthiazi2443
Did you ever play the game?
@@HitstikFit
Yeah in high school. A bunch of us had to go both ways. I played defensive end and tight end. I was the gunner on punt returns
@@donarthiazi2443 Well if you remember there may have been a kid on the team that was not a good athlete but worked his tail off. Anytime he did a drill, he at the very least gave his best effort. This type of attitude is contagious, and usually gets praise from coaches and players alike.. it makes the other players work harder in practice than they otherwise would have. Therefore they will perform better on gameday. Thats all i was saying
@@HitstikFit
Yeah. You're right
@@donarthiazi2443 Thank you. 😋 have a good one
God miss 90’s everything so amazing back then
Little known fact, Rudy did this, all of this, without even having had second breakfast.
Well played
Actually I met him he was real down-to-earth
I love this movie and Sean Astin so much.
Me and my grandpa must have watched this a hundred times
This IS MY VIDEO. Uploaded on my other channel. If you are here today for the playoff. Let me hear you!
I'm a Michigan fan....but goddammit if this isn't one of the greatest movies ever
Can’t tell you how many times.. and still am.. on that side of “cmon I can do it coach”
Rest In Power John Beasley✊🏾
First time seeing him in films was the tryout scene in "Rudy". Had me believing I had a chance while telling me I had little to no chance; and when you get that chance you wish you never gotten that chance, so enjoy the chance while you have it.
Them some serious mind games he was playing, mane.
Thank you for your kind words ♥
The Speech the coach gives.. Reminds me of my old high school coach..
Just heard John Beasley passed and i immediately thought of this scene 😢 RIP
I thought of this scene too when I heard the news. I think this is the role I will always remember him for.
Same here.
I don't know why, this makes me cry.
It was a lot of coaches on the ND staff observing practice over those five days and only one coach noticed the heart of Rudy while the rest of the coaches were focused on Rudy athletic ability and physical stature and didn't want him. That one coach changed Rudy's life by selecting him when no other coach wanted him ! This reminds me of Tom Brady and what he went through !
Rudy will always be my inspiration to never give up even when it seems low never give up and never let up. Bust your ass every day and the results will come.
This scene is everything I love about football in one clip.
Never thought of myself as smaller growing up. But it sure explains my lousy record in schoolyard fights. I love Rudy. I have no ability as an athlete ever, but I got an NCAA scholarship in cross country and Nordic skiing. You know, sports for smaller guys.:)
I just love this soundtrack and scene 💪
These recomended vids are crazy
I got cut from my freshman team and watched this movie and started varsity year.....never give up and persevere and anything can happen....this scene still resonates today....
