memories..

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2004)

This movie is probably the ONLY movie that, if i am channel surfing and it comes on, i must watch it all. Its not really an obsession, i have really only scene the movie a total of maybe 10-15 times (very low frequency for a hoosier). I was 5 years old with this movie was released, and i remember there was a 1-screen theatre on the east side of Indianapolis that played this movie two times a night, EVERY night, for the first year after it was released. You could see it for $4, and on the weekends they had drawings to give out basketballs and shirts and fun stuff like that. Every time i see this movie it reminds me of being a kid, going to that theatre and enjoying this, a movie that encapsulates what Indiana Basketball is all about. Basketball is indeed a passion that defines Indiana, and i think this movie did an OK job of capturing that. This isn't so much a review, but rather an explanation for why so many people love it.
