What’s the best movie with a WVU reference?
It’s ATRM.
Chris Penn was a GOAT in "All the Right Moves" as Riley, a loyal friend to Stef who played with future WVU players. Penn's portrayal was marked by his authenticity and emotional depth, showcasing the struggles of small-town life and the pressures of ambition.
After attending USC on a football scholarship, Riley became known for his dynamic presence in films throughout the '80s and '90s. His talent was evident in a range of roles, from dramatic to comedic, many times due to his fluctuating weight, yet he often found himself in the shadow of his more-talented brother, Sean Penn.
Tragically, Penn passed away in 2006 at the age of 40. Riley’s untimely death robbed the film world of a gifted actor who had much more to offer. "All the Right Moves" remains a testament to his ability to play with future WVU stars like Shadow, bring complexity to his characters, and capture the frustrations of youth in a way that resonates deeply.
