Rudy (1993)
I love Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy.......................
There are few movies I have viewed in my long life that bring tears to my eyes every time I see it. They are not tears of grief, but tears of joy. Rudy makes you believe that everything is possible. Two scenes bring giant crocodile tears to my eyes every time I watch it and I have seen it probably 50 times and own two copies of it. The first scene is the one where all of his teammates bring their jerseys in to the coach and give them to him so Rudy can play his final game as a senior. And, of course, the scene where the crowd slowly but faithfully takes up the chant of, "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy....) I have tears in my eyes even now as I just remember it. Sean Astin played the role to the max and the story line was true to life since the real Rudy was involved in it. Heck, I hate Notre Dame most of the time until I watch that movie. Then, I am bleeding green for the Irish! DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE! Rent it. Buy it. Steal it! Do whatever you have to do to see it. It is THAT good!
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)
What a Grand Movie!
After viewing this movie and watching a film about the making of it, I am both amazed and, well, just plain amazed that this movie was so good. The three young girls who starred in the movie were great. I watched the movie the first time without knowing the story behind these young actresses. Now that I know all three of them were total amateurs at the beginning of the movie makes me appreciate the work they did even more. The unbelievable cinematography just added to all of this and actually made me long to visit Australia one day before I die. This is a movie the whole family can enjoy. DO NOT MISS IT!
Pete's Meteor (1998)
Not a bad little movie
This was an overall enjoyable little ditty that kept me entertained throughout. I guess I wasn't expecting much from it, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie seemed to protray what life is like in Ireland, especially in the hard knock areas. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a nice little jaunt through the life and times of a tough little 12-year-old who makes you hate him and love him at the same time.
