Hoosiers is a "Slam Dunk"!

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2000)

This is the ultimate basketball movie whether you like the sport or not! Gene Hackman performs brilliantly and Dennis Hopper probably plays his best role in this film (though I am not a huge fan of his so I haven't seen many of his movies). This movie has drama, suspense, action, and love all wrapped in one! Having being based on a true story makes it even more appealing. It's refreshing not to see gore, mutilation, sex, and even sponsorship in this movie like so many movies out there right now. You CAN have a great movie without any of that stuff - and this movie is it! A must watch for sure.
