Best basketball movie??

[skunk]

1) Hoosiers

2) One on One

3) Fast Break

 

All three movies talk about dreams (dreams of success), how they change, how you get there, how you can't make everyone happy, but you have try your best all the time. They show disappointment, heartbreak, betrayal, persistence, victory over adversity, and how people love to jump on that bandwagon of a winner. They illustrate how sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, but you have to dress out for all of them. Basketball is the tool to illustrate life in all three of these movies, all done with a different spin, and all done with the actors (& actresses) doing there own basketball court work. But, Hoosiers is by far the best.

Hoosiers is far and away the best.

But I like some other ones a lot also.

 

1. Hoosiers

2. Love and Basketball

3. Like Mike

4. "O"

5. I'm saving this fifth spot for one that I've probably overlooked/forgotten. I'll come back to edit later!

Above the Rim.....awesome streetball moves in that one. I would have liked to seen 2pac's ballin ability, but oh well.

My favorite is "Pistol" about Pistol Pete Maravich.

The best basketball movie ever made is Rebound The Legend of Earl Manigault. Second best is He Got Game, Followed by Hoosiers and One on One.
