Review of Hoosiers (1986) by Christopher S — 30 Mar 2011
One of the greatest sports films of all time. Hoosiers never gets old. The casting was excellent. Not only could most of the actors portraying the basketball players actually play (something that seldom happens) but Gene Hackman was great as Norman Dale the basketball coach.
He definitely looked the part and even had the temperament of a coach in a tense setting. Dennis Hopper was OK but not great but then again, it seems he always plays characters with serious emotional issues.
Just like how It's a Wonderful Life has become a must-see during Christmas season, Hoosiers is a must-see during March Madness.
