Between this post and the last I am wondering how you missed some of these movies. For example;
Rudy, good Lord, you lived in Indiana for over 20 years and missed that? Rushmore?
I hate Notre Dame, hence the missing of Rudy, (thought I did enjoy the serious Rudy reference on My Name is Earl last week.
As for Rushmore, dunno...just hasn't popped up on my viewing list yet.
Sadly...we own Miracle...wanna borrow?
ive known people who hate notre dame but love rudy... its a pretty translatable message. I'm sure that's nothing you haven't heard before though. Honestly, as far as football movies go, Rudy would not even be in my top three (Friday night lights, any given sunday, and the either the longest yard or that one that the rock did a while back)
Oh, and I'm glad that you mentioned every bowling movie ever made and picked one of the two. Nice.
Seriously though, go grab friday night lights and miracle. I'm curious what you would think (I have a guess on both)
