I just watched Rudy -

I never heard of "Rudy" and had to google for it. Now I can see why you like
it (as a Mom of 3 boys)

True, I do lean toward the sport side of things - but Jane - I think you would really like it too...it is so inspiring.

He deals with let down after let down...he gets the crap beat out of him...but he still perseveres...and he gets his dream....just gives you the slightest twinge of hope that if you work hard enough, and don't give up - it might just happen to you...not playing for Notre Dame, mind you - but something that means as much to you as it did to Rudy. SO good.

This is the scene...

Yes, deep down these type of movies are always an inspiration and encouraging to watch and give us hope that we're not struggling for nothing. I'll see if they have the movie in our library , my daughter would like the movie for sure.

Me too!

Me too! Not quite as good as the Great Mr. Limpet, but close.

I am an easy target - I buy into those films and can either crash and burn or float for hours off of them. We watched The Departed last night...not so very uplifting....and OH MY GOODNESS...Saw Knowing the other night. Yikes.
