Knute Rockne All American (Bacon, 1940)

100 Quotes - Tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Gipper.

What a great line. Reagan was quite good in this, did a bang up job delivering this heart-tugger. Really liked the first half of the movie as Rockne struggles with his decision to make coaching a career (and when Reagan appears in the film). Thought Pat O'Brien was pretty good in the lead.

Didn't much care for the second half of the film, it dragged badly IMO once Rockne becomes a success.

As an old rugby player, got a kick out of the shape of the old footballs - quite round, and some of the highlight reel plays they showed - lots of lateral passes.
