If You Have to Watch 1 Netflix Movie in April 2025, Stream This 1 Now


Before Lord of the Rings and the MCU, Sean Astin and Jon Favreau had a minor hit in this beloved 1993 movie that's now streaming on Netflix

The film is based upon the real experiences of Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, a man who pursued his dream of playing on Notre Dame’s football team despite the people in his life dismissing his goal as an impossibility. A significant portion of Rudy follows the title character through his attempt to prove himself academically at Holy Cross College and overcome a learning disability before earning his shot on the field. Film music isn’t always recognized for what it brings to a movie, but a lot of Rudy ’s appeal is tied to the rousing score provided by Jerry Goldsmith.
