A couple weeks ago as March Madness was starting up I figured it was about time to watch what's got to be the biggest college basketball movie of all time, Hoosiers, the story of the most legendary coach in Indiana Hoosiers lore who led the team to a national title despite all of... hey wait a minute. This is about high school basketball? What? I don't care about high school basketball! This movie has nothing to do with 'the' Indiana Hoosiers and everything to do with, well, people from Indiana, a region where people call themselves Hoosiers, some of whom play basketball. Still this a mid-80's sports movie so you probably know exactly how this one's going to go. Like I mentioned in the Sideways post I watched these movies a while ago and while I can remember most of Sideways I don't remember much of Hoosiers at all. Gene Hackman was pretty good, and the stereotypical insular and unforgiving townspeople seemed a little too over-the-top. They were all assholes! Anyway, no reason to strongly recommend Hoosiers.
Obviously, this is the best college basketball movie of all time:
