Booyah! What happened to these guys? We need more sappy sports movies from them!

Ah, the two David Anspaugh-Angelo Pizzo sports movies that redefined the genre. They're both great and timeless, but my vote goes for Rudy, especially considering that Jerry Goldsmith's score for that one takes it over the top (I was never much of a fan of Goldsmith's score for Hoosiers, so it hurts it enough to let Rudy take it).

Shocked? I'm from Indiana...so I think the answer is obvious. But wait...Notre Dame is in Indiana too. Even Rudy can't top Jimmy Chitwood and Hickory...

Rudy i like more and routed for him more!

Wow wow wow, this is a tough one. Both are in my top 100. Hoosiers is the better movie overall but I love them both.

Close call. I'll go with Rudy due to the powerful underdog story, but Hoosiers is still pretty good with really good performances.
