    Can I just say that Robbie Benson had the romantic sports movie on lock in the disco era.

    Edith, if you haven't seen this, I think you will like the 50s Hawaiian surf culture part.

    Rootless, what's wrong with Hoosiers? It's definitely in my top 5 of sports movies.

    I tend to like some of the sillier ones over serious ones. Wildcats is my shit.

    For true ballers this is a must. ANy movie starring a guy named Booer is worth seeing.

    Hands down. I've probably seen that movie more than any other.

    I like the scene where Bill Nunn, as Ray Allen's no-good uncle, is quoting The Godfather II to Ray, talking about "I just want enough to wet my beak a little". Ray just stares at him and repeats "Wet your beak!?"

    it's basically the story of cornfed white kids triumphing over scary innercity Black kids.

    in other words: a ready-made Soulstrut thread!
