Hoosiers

Average rating: Stars

the basketball movie of all basketball movies.

This is a magical film from the start. Showing the state of Indiana in the first scene of the movie was cool. Gene Hackman was the best fit for the role as the coach. He likes discipline and is honest and knows how to show people how to do things. The movie has some of the most dramatic shots and the games that the Hoosiers played were exciting. This is based on a real story which just makes a person want to buy it or see it even more. There is one guy in this movie that is always drunk and is the father of one of the players on the team. Gene helps him a litttle and makes him assistant coach and then in one of the games he gets thrown out of the game for arguing. He does this so the drunk assistant can try to win the game by himself. What a great idea for a scene in the movie. The last game fininshes it off by one of the Hoosiers shooting the ball to win the game. It goes in at the buzzard with no seconds left and they win the championship in dramatic fashion. That was a huge shot. Being a fan of basketball and playing it I really got inspiration from it. It sure did take a while for it to come out with two discs. oh well it's here now. Buy it and you'll love it. God bless you and America.

Special Edition = OUTSTANDING!

First, the movie is the best basketball movie ever.

This is a review of the special edition DVD. If you are a fan of the movie and the history of Indiana HS basketball you must get this dvd. The special feature documentary is great. The deleted scenes are great. AND the actual game the movie was based on is included with Bobby Plump hitting the game winner for the Milan Indians.

Impossible not to like

Unless you hate basketball, teenagers, Gene Hackman, or Indiana, it's impossible not to fall for this movie. It's one of the best feel-good movies ever made. We've got David vs. Goliath (the winning school only has about 65 kids in it); loyalty galore, especially with the star player refusing to play at first out of mistaken respect for the dead coach who preceded Hackman; an almost reformed alcoholic in Dennis Hopper with great basketball brains despite the fatal flaw; a little romance with Hackman and another teacher; and mystery (Hackman has a clouded past). What more could you want? The picture plays to our simplest emotions, and when it's over we cheer like crazy. Who cares if we've been had.
