I was just browsing YouTube and got to thinking, "Rudy" or "The Karate Kid"? I love both films...

so it would be hard for me to pick a favorite...what do you think?

Edit: I thought of another great underdog film, "My Bodyguard".

But if you are talking underdog films, My Bodyguard was pretty good too. Other great picks would be Breaking Away and Hoosiers.
