Great Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2002)

This is an excellent movie for anyone who is a basketball fan. Gene Hackman did a outstanding job as coach Norman Dale. He is faced with bringing a small Indiana town's high school basketball team together. The coach has a questionable past,but really wants to work with this team. The town holds a referundum as to whether or not to fire the coach, and one of the players informs the town that "IF he stays, I play, but if he goes, I go". It was great to see how these players rallyed around the coach. He was assisted by Dennis Hopper, who's a drnkard and his son plays on the team. At first his son doesn't like the fact that his dad is coaching, but later comes around. It was great to see how this coach molded the players into a team, and take them to the state finals. I want to add this movie to my collection. It is worthy of any collection.
