SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – KSLSports.com’s Bracket of Movies continues with a Round of Eight matchup of the 4 and 21 seeds.

No. 4-seed Rocky beat No. 29 Bend It Like Beckham in the first round and No. 13 Miracle in the second round. The 1976 film is about Sylvester Stallone as a small-time boxer, who gets a supremely rare chance to fight a heavy-weight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.

No. 21-seed Rudy knocked off No. 12 The Wrestler in the first round and No. 5 The Natural in the second round. The 1993 film features Sean Astin, Jon Favreau and Ned Beatty about Rudy, who has always been told that he was too small to play college football. But he is determined to overcome the odds and fulfill his dream of playing for Notre Dame.
