I love a good biopic.
They’re a reminder of what’s possible.
Of course, most of us likely won’t have a movie about our lives.
It is no surprise that Foxx won an Oscar for his role as Ray.
One of my favorite scenes is when Charles comes up with “What’d I Say.”
It’s one of those memorable movie moments I love going back to watch onYouTube.

‘Rudy’
There is so much to love about this film.
I love Sean Astin as “Rudy” Ruettiger.
This may sound like not a big deal, but Rudy doesn’t exactly look like your typical player.
Not only that, I love the wisdom shared by Charles S. Dutton.
Combining all of this with the beautiful music makes it one of my favorite movies.
I love that this is a woman who is struggling herself and certainly not a wealthy lawyer.
Yet, she won’t let it go when she sees something illegal happening.
Albert Finney is tremendous as Ed Masry, Brockovich’s boss.
Also, keep your eye out in the beginning for a waitress who serves Julia Roberts and her kids.
That’s the real Erin Brockovich herself!
His students all come from rough backgrounds and have a lot of the odds stacked against him.
What I love about this movie is how much Escalante believes in his students.
He doesn’t think their upbringing determines their intelligence or capability for success.
I wish everyone had at least one teacher like this in their lifetime.
