List your top five basketball movies, you may go first!!! Good Luck!!


Hoosiers
Glory Road
Blue Chips
Hoop Dreams
Coach Carter


Hoosiers
Glory Road
Blue Chips
He Got Game
Finding Forrester

good luck!!


Finding Forrester? whats it got like 5 miutes of basketball? Finding Forrester is really about literature heck most of the time the dude is hanging out with Sean Connery

He Got Game is actually one of the few Spike Lee movies I like but come on top 5 all time? please maybe top 20 if its lucky. I mean I would put Above the Rim, Rebound the Early Manigault Story, Sunset Park as well as a bunch of other movies over it.

Coach Carter is based on a true story and it gives actual events and is an inspiring movie and Hoop Dreams is one of if not the best basketball documentary to date


Forfeited Turn


dang just realized I accidentally said Early instead of Earl.

but anyways like I said Finding Forrester by itself to me makes that a bad top 5 just because I wouldnt consider that an actual basketball movie. I thought it was a nice movie and all but not enough focus on the actual basketball part for me.

but anyways good luck

Finding Forrester really isnt about basketball. the basketball is sort of just thrown in but its not really a main focus of the movie
