Go to Facebook and check out the Hoosier Gym page- then make the trip to Knightstown, IN

1954 "Go, Man, Go!" Original Globetrotters supplemented by Dane Clark, Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee. Significant for the story it told, the impact it had when released, and the back story of a black-listed writer and producer who put it out under fictitious names, but was still classified as communist for starring Poitier and never worked in Hollywood again.

If I had a dollar for every time I had to watch that movie.

If I had a dollar, I would still have nothing. Are you making this up? Never heard of this movie.

GRC you have me rolling on the floor! Thanks.

One conclusion I have from this thread is that you younger guys never shed a tear at your favorites. I cry at all mine, except Tin Cup.

Jackie Moon!

 

Tomorrow, after the game, I, Jackie Moon will wrestle a bear.

LOL. You young guys are making fun of a sensitive old grandpa! Too, much cellphone exposure has scrambled your sensitivity synapsis.

Watching one of my favorite movies, RUDY, made me think of all my favorite sports movies and I realized outside of MAURY (the story of Maurice Stokes and Jack Twyman) I could not recall a single great sports movie with a basketball theme.

 

Great sports movies in my order of "got to watch every time it's on".

1). Rudy

2). The Natural

3). Tin Cup

4). Hoosiers (OMG, just remembered this is a basketball movie, blows this thread's credibility, and proves memory fades at 70).

 

Anybody else got any great sports movies, especially basketball?

 

To put Tin Cup in your top five list kind of blows all your credibility when it comes to movies. What a terrible flick.

Basketball themed movies in no particular order:

 

Hoosiers

Bluechips

He Got Game

White Men Can't Jump

Hoop Dreams

Above the Rim

Glory Road

Coach Carter

One on One

 

There's nine legit ones off the top of my head. left off other such as Love and Basketball and Basketball Diaries because I haven't seen them. Hollywood has represented basketball just fine.

 

Hoosiers is an absolute classic film, I'm not sure if I could leave it off my top 10 movie list of all time.

Sandman, at least we totally agree on Hoosiers. Find the rest of your list falling dreadfully short on the "Got to watch every time it's on" meter.
