Rudy is a 1993 American sports film directed by David Anspaugh. It is an account of the life of Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, who harbored dreams of playing football at the University of Notre Dame despite significant obstacles. It was the first movie that the Notre Dame administration allowed to be shot on campus since Knute Rockne, All American in 1940.
In 2005, Rudy was named one of the best 25 sports movies of the previous 25 years in two polls by ESPN (#24 by a panel of sports experts, and #4 by ESPN.com users). It was ranked the 54th-most inspiring film of all time in the "AFI 100 Years" series.
The film was released on October 13, 1993, by TriStar Pictures. It stars Sean Astin as the title character, along with Ned Beatty, Jason Miller and Charles S. Dutton. The script was written by Angelo Pizzo, who created Hoosiers (1986), which was also directed by Anspaugh. The film was shot in Illinois and Indiana.
Daniel Eugene "Rudy" Ruettiger grows up in Joliet, Illinois dreaming of playing college football at the University of Notre Dame. Though he is achieving some success with his local high school team (Joliet Catholic), he lacks the grades and money necessary to attend Notre Dame, as well as the talent and physical stature to play football for a major intercollegiate program.

Genres: Adventure,It must take all you energy to feel bad, you know that
You think that nobody's with you
You hate as much about the wind in the trees
Well you know, you might learn to like a little bit of
Cool breeze, as long as no one's around
You're coming along now rudy don't you want to know?
Well sort it out, cause don't you wonder what the world holds?
And now you wonder why you're 21, soon 22 and nobody's with you
Love to be all she's ever had, tied to you and hoping
You don't ever let it go
I don't believe the things that you complain about
And you don't see that politics and poetry
Won't get you what you want
You're coming along now rudy who's in front of you?
And you're the one crying "only if the world knew"
And now you wonder why you're 21, soon 22
And nobody's with you
Rudy put your writing on your bedroom wall
And you know, and you know you're the wise one
Your sister's got you wrong, your mama doesn't know
Or maybe you're just supposed to be alone
